Hi,
We've got a big problem with
Struts 1.2 internationalization.
When we change the Locale to German the Confirm button is called bestätigen.
The ä character is not getting converted properly by Struts and we get the error 'HTTP Status 400 - Request[/saveR****] does not contain handler parameter named actionMethod'
The line in the
jsp is :
<input type="submit" name="actionMethod" value="bestätigen" class="button" id="button">
We did fix a problem where in the View Source it was converting the ä char to 2 more special chars. Everything looks ok now, but behind the scenes Struts is translating the button label wrong.
We have tried adding enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" on the html:form that is submitted, but it made no difference.
Please can you help me if you have come across this problem before.
Thank you
