As a followup, I have been investigating the cause of the problem.

It seems that patching the initializer in FBManagedConnectionFactory to read

public FBManagedConnectionFactory(GDSType type) {
this.type = type;
gds = GDSFactory.getGDSForType(type);
defaultCri = FBConnectionHelper.getDefaultCri(gds);
defaultCri.setProperty(ISCConstants.isc_dpb_lc_ctype,
"UNICODE_FSS" );
defaultCri.setProperty(ISCConstants.isc_dpb_local_encoding,
"UTF-8");
}

avoids the NPE. When setting the encoding another way, a
defaultCri.setProperty(xxx, null) seems to be inviked. Don't quite knwo how.

However, unfortunately, this still does not avoid the transliteration
errors.

Any clues?

Thanks for the help,
Joachim
