True. But I have standardized on UTF-8 for all text output in my
applications, since I sometimes also have to deal with cyrillic stuff,
and I don't want to adjust my encodings and the input filter all the
time. Going directly to UTF-8 solves all that. Is there any good
reason not to use UTF-8 by default?

Since you see to experience your problem in request processing, may be
set the encoding with the VM: -Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8 if
you like. Also the locale of your operating system might play a role.
If  its a UNIX/Linux box, do you have the german locale installed?

Martin
