For information for other people who would have the same problem:
Warning
Do not issue the query 'set names' with Connector/J, as the driver will not
detect that the character set has changed, and will continue to use the
character set detected during the initial connection setup.
To allow multiple character sets to be sent from the client, the "UTF-8"
encoding should be used, either by configuring "utf8" as the default server
character set, or by configuring the JDBC driver to use "UTF-8" through the
characterEncoding property.
(from http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/cj-character-sets.html)
I changed the test db in utf8 and reinserted the data, but still the xml
export is not ok, the accentuated characters are still wrong,even using the
characterEncoding property of the driver.
So I think the problem is probably not with mysql encoding but may be with
the xml export from java, and I found that on the web to ensure you export
in the right encoding:
//Open an Output Stream Writer to set encoding
OutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(fileName);
OutputStream bout = new BufferedOutputStream(fout);
OutputStreamWriter out = new OutputStreamWriter(bout,"UTF-8");
Just wanted to give some info who may help somebody who is not a java
developper (like me!).
If somebody around knows if this has any chance to work or if there is an
other problem please let me know!
Thanks to everybody for your help.
