Thanks George and Sri,
i have experimented a bit but could not fix it.
I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with the database as the problem
also occurs in text that was not in touch with the db.
i looked in web.xml (that of
dspace-xmlui\dspace-xmlui-webapp\src\main\webapp\WEB-INF\web.xml) but
the code there was already like George suggested:
<!--
Set encoding used by the container. If not set the
ISO-8859-1 encoding
will be assumed.
Since the servlet specification requires that the
ISO-8859-1 encoding
is used (by default), you should never change this value
unless
you have a buggy servlet container.
-->
<init-param>
<param-name>container-encoding</param-name>
<param-value>ISO-8859-1</param-value>
</init-param>
<!--
Set form encoding. This will be the character set used to
decode request
parameters. If not set the ISO-8859-1 encoding will be
assumed.
-->
<init-param>
<param-name>form-encoding</param-name>
<param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
</init-param>
i also tried newer versions from svn (1.5.0 beta1 and beta2) but
without success...
thanks so far,
michael

Hi there,
If the database is postgresql, then the below link will help in
characterset support at Database level
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/multibyte.html
As the form encoding is UTF-8 (presentation layer), the data storage in
the DB should also be UTF-8 encoded. I didn't try this in Dspace but in
one of my previous project we had similar situation of supporting
Japanese language where we made the DB encoding as UTF-8 and also
specified the page encoding as UTF-8 (in jsp) which resolved the issue.
This might be of help as scenario is the same.
Sri

Hi Michael
Try the following setup in your web.xml:
<init-param>
<param-name>container-encoding</param-name>
<param-value>ISO-8859-1</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>form-encoding</param-name>
<param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
</init-param>
