issue tomcat and special characters

[ary martini]

Hi Team

I am using tomcat 4.1.29 with mysql 4.0

My application runs on tomcat. There is a file "includes.inc.jsp" on my 
application which specifies the character setting to ISO-8859-1.

Issue:
I cannot insert special characters into my database. 
Example: à , è or ü and ö are inserted as orphan characters like è and ? or à 

Test: 
I have changed the charset to UTF-8, it has no effect. For some reason tomcat 
deafults the encoding.

Question
How can I check and change the encoding on tomcat?

Here an extract from my charset :










Thank you very much
Ary
