French Characters in JSF-primefaces Application shows Mojibake [duplicate] - jsf-2

Question

This question already has answers here:
i18n with UTF-8 encoded properties files in JSF 2.0 application
(3 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
In my Application I made it to have it in two languages. English and French.
In English, its all right. But while Reading the Properties file for French Language it ends up showing mojibake.
I have in my properties file like this:
example.french.char=é
but it does not show properly in the application. I am viewing my app in Windows. I dont want to replace the French characters by Unicode characters. I want them to be read from properties file as they normally appear.
How can I make it work?
Please suggest. Can I make it happen to view the French Characters without using Unicodes?
My properties file is encoded in UTF-8.
Please suggest!
I tried the following too..
public class CharacterEncodingFilter implements Filter{
private FilterConfig config;
#Override
public void destroy() {
setConfig(null);
}
#Override
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
FilterChain filter) throws IOException, ServletException {
request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
response.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
response.setContentType("text/html; charset=UTF-8");
filter.doFilter(request, response);
}
#Override
public void init(FilterConfig config) throws ServletException {
setConfig(config);
}
public FilterConfig getConfig() {
return config;
}
public void setConfig(FilterConfig config) {
this.config = config;
}
}
and added this in web.xml
<filter>
<filter-name>charEncoding_Filter</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.edfx.tum.filter.CharacterEncodingFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>charEncoding_Filter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
but still it shows mojibake.

Answer 1

Did you try to set request/response encoding type to UTF-8, with servlet filter class.
Here is an example:
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.servlet.Filter;
import javax.servlet.FilterChain;
import javax.servlet.FilterConfig;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.ServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.ServletResponse;
public class SetCharacterEncodingFilter implements Filter, Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = -4518853484989127891L;
#Override
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
response.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
chain.doFilter(request, response);
}
#Override
public void destroy() {
}
#Override
public void init(FilterConfig arg0) throws ServletException {
}
}
Then you register the filter in web.xml
<filter>
<filter-name>UTF8Charset</filter-name>
<filter-class>your.package.name.SetCharacterEncodingFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>UTF8CharSet</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

If your properties file is in UTF-8 you may have an issue as it should be in ISO-8859-1 in the load(InputStream). You will have to load your properties using the load(Reader) where you specify the encoding when constructing the reader.
