Hi Team I am using tomcat 4.1.29 with mysql 4.0 My application runs on tomcat. There is a file "includes.inc.jsp" on my application which specifies the character setting to ISO-8859-1. Issue: I cannot insert special characters into my database. Example: à , è or ü and ö are inserted as orphan characters like è and ? or à Test: I have changed the charset to UTF-8, it has no effect. For some reason tomcat deafults the encoding. Question How can I check and change the encoding on tomcat? Here an extract from my charset : <%@ page language="java" errorPage="/error.jsp" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"%> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="/css/formate.css"> <%@ include file="session.inc.jsp" %> <%@ include file="i18n.jsp" %> <%@ include file="declarations.inc.jsp" %> <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="/WEB-INF/tld/c.tld" %> <%@ taglib prefix="h2h" uri="/WEB-INF/tld/h2h.tld" %> Thank you very much Ary
