It was necessary in Struts application. I don't write Unicode code in resource bundles for my JSF 2 applications. I write directly ä, ö, etc. It works great. You should have in your XHTML pages. Nothing more. Is there really a reason to encode the umlauts? Best regards. Oleg. Hello Dominic,

I don't know what to think of this... We store our resources in database-based resource bundles so it has been a long time ago I last tried it with files... but... It would seem *very* strange to me that Sun would demand resource bundles, of all files, specifically meant for internationalization, to be ASCII... Then again Sun has done some strange things in the past.. it's not impossible! :) I think you should check your bundle files in a text editor that has some nice character encoding features (I suggest Open Source Notepad++) and I think you will see that they are actually stored as ASCII... Try to save them as Unicode/UTF-8 and I bet you can use unicode characters in them directly, without having to escape them.

It seems as if you were trying to use unicode escape sequences in a non unicode file. I heard that there are some problems with unicode under windows, but imho thats the way to go. just my €0.02 wouldn’t it be easier to use unicode directly.
