PH> look at the JVM arguments. How would I read them without shell or CFAdmin access?
PH> you're setting the *file encoding* to utf-8? Ermm, the GetEncoding("URL") and GetEncoding("FORM") return UTF-8. PH> is there a public example of this? May I contact you offlist with that? PH> now() produces a very fine datetime object. But it's not ODBC compliant, is it??? PH> its the format for your locale (ex.'06.02.06'). Pardon?

Now my brain gets fuzzy... I do need tree (or six) single values, each padded to two digits.

Huh, this one works like a charm! All umlauts are rendered properly. How comes? >> I always thought of it being latin-1 because my conversion tool told >> me it'll that encoding.

PH> well these encodings are *almost* identical, some apps/people treat them as if PH> they were identical. Hmm. But I thought CFMX always uses its own JVM with its own settings... -- Patric Stumpe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:231580 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
