Special characters in xactions

[gexplorer]

Hi,
I'm developing an xaction that retrieves from a DB some information with spanish characters (á, é, í, ó, ú and ñ). The output of the action is some HTML and JavaScript code. When the output parameter is:

Destination: response
Name: output

The action displays the code correctly with all the special characters. The problem is that if I change the parameter to show it as content:

Destination: response
Name: content

The action displays the code with "?" instead of special characters. I understand that the name has to be "content" in order to integrate it inside a Dashboard so how can I display the characters correctly?

Thanks,
Eder

Eder,
In the first line of the xaction file, try replacing "UTF-8" with "iso-8859-1"

No luck.

Besides those characters should work with UTF-8 shouldn't they? And the most strange thing is that they only disappear when the output parameter's name is "content", it works correctly if it's any other name.

That indeed works but everytime i save the xaction pentaho creates it with UTF-8 encoding. So the problem is how to say pentaho i want isa-8859-1 instead of UTF-8 when saving the file.

Please help!!
