ExtJS with Jawr appears to be messing with encoding settings

I'm having trouble with some German strings being encoded incorrectly on response. The project is setup in Grails using ExtJS and Jawr. All strings are stored in a .properties file, which are translated on a per language basis. The German strings include a character that needs to be encoded in utf-8. Strings encoded using g:strings, work correctly. The g:strings passed through the Jawr are not displaying correctly. I tried setting the jawr encoding by setting jawr.charset.name='utf-8' in the Config.groovy file, but that did not fix it. My understand is that the jawr charset should use the grails setting when possible, which is currently set using:

grails.views.gsp.encoding = "UTF-8" grails.converters.encoding = "UTF-8"

I tried tracing down the html using firebug, but did all encodings appear to be utf-8.开发者_高级运维 My only theory is that the string is being encoded incorrectly by the jawr. Any ideas on where I should look? I'm currently using Jawr-3.3.3.

Answer found outside of forum. Problem was in local run of grails using run-app. Deployed version worked fine.
