So basically my problem is that I have an ArrayList of Strings containing words with accents on some of letters. When I get the values of this ArrayList to display as a dropdown menu on the xhtml, I get the values correctly with the accents and everything, however, when I try to submit the string I've selected, I get this error: Validation Error: Value is not valid.
The encoding of the xhtml page is this: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
.
When I select a word that has no accents, everything works as planned.
What am I supposed to do to fix this problem? Thanks.
Edit: As requested, here's the code :
