Hi all,

some of our students are using Firebird 1.0/JayBird for a web-app
with Tomcat 4.1.19 and Protomatter for connection pooling.

They have problems with specifying the correct client character
set at connect time. They do something like that:

Properties jdbcProperties = new Properties ();
jdbcProperties.put ("user", "sysdba");
jdbcProperties.put ("password", "masterkey");
jdbcProperties.put ("charSet", "ISO8859_1");
jdbcProperties.put ("dialect", "3");
args.put ("jdbc.properties", jdbcProperties);


What's the correct property name for specifying the character
set? They are using "charSet", but perhaps that isn't the right
one? Is it "lc_ctype"?

If "lc_ctype" will be used, then another exception occurs, which
probably has someting to do with the Promomatter connection pool.

Anyone using Promomatter for connection pooling with JayBird?

Any help is greatly appreciated.


Thank you,
Thomas Steinmaurer
