http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32500 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-12-04 22:54 ------- ok, i have tested this fully now. the reason your app is not working from the servlet side, regardless of database or no database, is because you O/S's locale/regional settings will be set such that the JVM Tomcat is using is defaulting character encoding for String creation (and other java.lang/java.io objects) to non-Hebrew support. Therefore you must either change your O/S locale so that the JVM defaults to Hebrew, OR you must convert your strings in the way you already found works, i.e new String("hebrew", "windows-1255"); Here is the reference: "Every instance of the Java virtual machine has a default charset, which may or may not be one of the standard charsets. The default charset is determined during virtual-machine startup and typically depends upon the locale and charset being used by the underlying operating system." http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/nio/charset/Charset.html This is not an anomaly of Tomcat nor the Java language. Cheers, hope this helps.
