Problem with property resource bundles

Question

I use struts message resource to localize my jsp pages.
struts message resources itself uses property resource bundles to
accompolish its task.the problem arises when I try to
print a message from resource bundle using:
<bean:message bundle="messages_ir" key="label.username" />
statement and my resource bundle file has a line like:
label.username=\u0644\u0646 ,
but it doesnot show the specified unicode characters. as i have understood it
only uses the low order bytes in specifed unicdes (e.g \u0644=\u0044).
plz help me!

Answer 1

first did you try putting this at the top of the jsp page?
<%
page
language="java"
pageEncoding="utf-8"
contentType="text/html;charset=utf-8"
%>
then, when using struts, you should also specify the locale:
<html:html locale="true">
</html:html>
hope this helps
