Sorry if this is off topic but I know there are OSX, Tomcat users here who may be able to shed some light on my problem.
The problem has to do with ASCII characters >128 for locale character support such as tilde, circumflex, etc. while running Tomcat (4.0.3) on MacOS 10.1.3 w/ java version 1.3.1 I have set my JAVA_OPTS env variable to file.encoding=8859_1 but am still having problems with ResultSet values which continue to be MacRoman decoding of 8859_1 chars. I am accessing a MSSQL running on Windows 2000 via a JDirect Type 4 driver. Some of the data has Portuguese and Spanish characters and when I output a ResultSet returned by Tomcat running on the Windows machine everything looks correct. When I output the same ResultSet from Tomcat running on the Macintosh accessing the same database on the Windows machine, I get the characters MacRoman encoded whether or not I have run the startup.sh from a terminal with JAVA_OPTS=file.encoding=8859_1. Actually there is NO difference which seems to indicate that either file.properties is not the correct system env variable or I am not using JAVA_OPTS correctly? So I'm fishing for any ideas of how to fix this problem. If you have any suggestions please mail me off list as well as I am on the digest. Thanks for the help.
