character encoding problem

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with utf8 character encoding.

I followed steps from other thrads on this subject and did all the work in MySQL database, servlets and jsp pages, but I'm stuck now with struts-config file and connection url.

After I add

<set-property property="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/ivydb?useEncoding=true&characterEncoding=utf8" />

to <data source> in my struts-config file, I get following error:

The reference to entity"characterEncoding" must end with the';' delimiter. [17]

Any help much appreciated.
