Re: Japanese characters in Velocity Context

Well, I seem to have solved the problem already; sorry to have bothered 
you all.

I managed to find some older posts of mine on the list when I was having 
a similar problem with displaying Japanese characters that I had taken 
from a database (in this instance I was just taking them as java variables).

Anyway, so to try and experiment I did this:

context.put("ACCOUNT_STATUS",new 
String(ACCOUNT_STATUS_JAP.getBytes("Shift_JIS"), "8859_1"));

and now they display just fine,

Again this seems to operate independently of setting the output 
encoding, but then I am using a Japanese operating system, so the 
default output encoding is probably Shift_JIS.
