Setting UTF8 in tomcat or struts?

[siberian]

Is there a config element in tomcat that will force it to output utf8? I know I can set it on the servlet response but I'm using struts so there is no consistent servlet response object to pull it from.

The only way I know to do it is to put these lines at the start of each JSP ...

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content= "text/html;charset=UTF-8 " >
<%@ page contentType= "text/html;charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding= "UTF-8 " %>

In struct-config file, you can set "content-type" attribute to the controller element.

<controller
processorClass="org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor"
debug="0"
contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8"/>;

I guess that will work. I haven't tried this though.

Thanks again sedj, I tried both of these and the jsp version worked.

Awesome, now to figure out how to get my word file kanji translations into eclipse and my app properties.

Expect more stupid questions soon
