Hello! I want to use JBoss with Hypersonic Database. I've created a couple of JSP pages and servlets, using which the user can enter data into the database via EJBs with container-managed persistence. Some of the web pages are used for entering string data into the database. It works fine as long as the string are US English. However, when I try to enter Cyrillic or German characters, a problem occurs. When those strings are read from the database, they are displayed incorrectly (both Cyrillic letters and German umlauts). All web pages have UTF-8 encoding, which is set in the header: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> I would like to know where and how I can configure the encoding of the database.
