Java only support properties file in ascii format. In order for Java to read properties file with characters in other encoding, you will need to use a java tool "native2ascii" to covert yor properties in UTF-8 encoding into ascii format. native2ascii comes with JDK. it is in JAVA_HOME/bin directory.

let say your UTF-8 propeties file is named as resource-UTF8_ja.properties, then you can run the tool as:

native2ascii -encoding UTF-8 resource-UTF8_ja.properties resource_ja.properties

give struts to use the coverted propeties resource_ja.properties. It should then solve your problem

Java can only read properties in ASCII format. After you enter and save your properties in UTF-8 format, you then use native2ascii to covert that into ASCII. the coverted ASCII file will be the resource file read by Java.
