No, I hadn't yet. I had thought it was a configuration thing (one tomcat configured for UTF-8 and one for 8859) but after investigation and not having gotten very far, I think it might be. I'm opening a ticket now. Thanks Peter.

Yeah I took a look at the config for the Virtualisation Server and couldn't find anything obvious that would indicate it's erroneously forcing requests to be encoded in 8859. That said I haven't had time to try reproducing the issue either, so it could be environmental or configuration related.

Peter

The problem is with .ftl rendering template. if you use XSL for rendering template then all special charater will get properly displayed.

hi,
in XSL you can resolve this issue using disable-output-escaping="true" as an attribute.
in FTL also you need to include one markup… which will resolve this issue.. i will update the code if you need

Thanks
