change server default enconding -Where to set JAVA_OPTS in catalina.sh for UTF8?

[Java Development Team]

Hi everyone.
Iam trying to change server default enconding from ISO8859_1 to UTF8.
Till now I found 2 differrent solutions. 
The fisrt one is to use the following in my catalina.sh:
set JAVA_OPTS=-Djavax.servlet.request.encoding=UTF-8 -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

Putting this line in the start of my catalina.sh I get 
Java not starting up, Tomcat not running. 
Does anyone know how to fix this , if any specific .jars needed etc...

The second one is to use filters which i will try if dont get any luck with the 
above which seems to be more efficient solution. 

Thank you
Zis

Re: Switching default index page from xml to xql

[Java Development Team]

Hi,
 if Iunderstood corectly you have a seperate application that you want
change its welcome page.
You should put the prefferred welcome page in the applications web.xml
ex.

   prefferredfile.xql

This is the default way of doing this in web apps
I hope Ive helped

I have used a sevlet filter and  translte from ISO8859_1 to UTF8 just works
through all application.

Adding the Djavax.servlet.request.encoding gave me corect UTF8 encoding for
servlets that insert stuff directly in database which was problematic.
JAVA_OPTS="-Djavax.servlet.request.encoding=UTF-8 -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
${JAVA_OPTS}"

The corect one thanx to david

I didnt knew about this parameter that is probably why URIEncoding="UTF-8"
had no effect while I was testing .

I dont know about this either. How do I get  access to  default servlet

Thank you Mark and David
