Mark, I see your point related to file encoding changes working on select OS/JVM combinations, why is probably why setting LANG=en_US.UTF-8 in catalina.sh does the trick on Unix. There's got to be some workaround for Windows. My aim is to force Tomcat to use UTF-8. We have a EAR that is deployed on Tomcat, and setting the file encoding to UTF-8 would help satisfy i18n requirements for the product. Otherwise for e.g. japanese usernames would be seen as ???.
