Struts and Tiles in tomcat 4.1.18, arabic characters cannot be viewed?

C

Dear All,
I'm using the struts and tiles frameworks in tomcat(version
4.1.18). I have an action that reads arabic text from a sybase
database, writes to a file (to verfiy database string is in arabic)
then sets a forms string property, then forwards to a jsp which views
the result.
When not using tiles, just struts in tomcat, I get the correct
result, arabic text on the screen. However, when I attempt to do the
exact same in tiles, I get ???? ???? ??? characters instead of the
correct arabic text?
Has anyone come across this problem before? If so, did they
find a workaround? My charset is utf-8, which I set both in the struts
controller, plus in every jsp at the top using this line:

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

Makes no difference, still just see question-mark characters coming
back!

Any help/pointers appreciated?
Best regards,
Conor
