Hi,

I'm creating validationMessages for languages such as Russian, etc. However, when I encode them as utf-8, I get all sorts of gibberish in the front end. I noticed that the default ValidationMessages.properties files are all encoded as ANSI and the extended characters are encoded as escape sequences.

Is there a particular reason for this? It makes it a nightmare to work with these files in most languages except English.

Kind regards,

Marc

Hi,

from the javadoc of PropertyResourceBundle:

Quote:

PropertyResourceBundle can be constructed either from an InputStream or a Reader, which represents a property file. Constructing a PropertyResourceBundle instance from an InputStream requires that the input stream be encoded in ISO-8859-1. In that case, characters that cannot be represented in ISO-8859-1 encoding must be represented by Unicode Escapes, whereas the other constructor which takes a Reader does not have that limitation.

Turns out that ResourceBundle.getBundle uses the InputStream constructor and hence the need for ISO-8859-1.
