Hi there!

I have a problem reading special characters (like german umlauts) from
the interbase database via jdbc. (No problem with isql)

Special characters like german umlauts (äöü, etc.) are replaced with the
character '?' under Linux.

This a a tomcat 4.1.24 based web-application. When I run my App on
Tomcat/Windows against the same firebird Linux-instance there's no
problem. So I blame the driver and imagine the driver needs something
on the system to be able to return these characters? The database, table
and column have character set "NONE".

I also tried to set the character set via "?lc_ctype=UNICODE_FSS" but
received an unrecognized transaction error.

Any ideas?

Greetings, Christian
