Hello,
I have made a website using jboss, Hibernate, mysql 4.0.16 and mysql-connector-java-3.0.9. In development this is installed on Windows2000 and everything works fine, also when the user inputs characters like é, à, è, … In production this is installed on Linux (RedHat 8). There also everything works fine, except for the strange characters é, à, è. I suppose the reason is that RedHat uses UTF-8 as encoding. I’ve tried to put ‘useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8’ in the driver connection url, but this doesn’t help. Can anyone help me on this problem? Greetings, Willy Dockx
