spring framework mvc localization

I am trying to add Internationalization and Localization support to our Spring MVC application. I made encoding like this in *-servlet.xml 

<bean id="messageSource"
class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
<property name="basename" value="classpath:messages" />
<property name="defaultEncoding" value="UTF-8"/>

But I found wrong character like below

enter image description here

I cannot figure out what problem I should fix it. If possible, please let me know.

I've already added in jsp page like this: <%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>

But it doesn't work.

update your default encoding with: 

<property name="defaultEncoding" value="ISO-8859-1" />

and this should work for rendering characters with accents. At least it works on my spring projects (french and european languages/users)

If this is not an option for you (bigger audience of targetted users) try to add this in your jsp:

<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
    ...
</head>

The defaultEncoding property of ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource is used to

Set the default charset to use for parsing properties files. Used if no file-specific charset is specified for a file.

It has no bearing on how the client is reading the response. If you are generating your response with a jsp, you can give it this line at the start

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>

so that the client knows that you are providing data encoded with the UTF-8 charset.

If you are not using a jsp, there are other ways to set the content-type or content-encoding, directly from HttpServletResponse or from a returned ResponseEntity object.
