Hi all. I'm using Axis 1.2.1 and i have this situation: i have a html form; the user compiles this form and a web service is called; well it seems to me that when there are some special characters (as à or è etc...) i have some problems; infact the same ear on windows XP Home Edition SP2 and Windows 2000 works very well, when i deploy this ear on linux (redhat 3.0 advanced server) i have some problem; all works fine (the client can call the web service but) but when i try to access to DB by using hibernate the query is not correct; it seems to me that there are some problem in encoding this character. Can anybodi help me? Thanks.
