  1. UTF-8 encoded strings in form fields of a Struts based web-app (1 messages)

    Hi,
    There are some UTF-8 encoded strings selected from DB and stored in fields of a formBean. These are in Persian(Farsi) and there's a problem in showing them in fields of the corresponding html form. Something like ??? was shown instead of تست after running the application.
    What could be wrong with it?

    Thanks

    I think you need to set the appropriate content type for UTF-8 in the response object and also if you use <html:write>, you may have to use filter="false" option.

    response.setContentType("text/html;charset=utf-8");

    Hope this helps,
    Senthil.
