Be aware that -Dfile.encoding specifies the **Java** system(!) default
encoding, it expects Java encodings (ISO8859_1 happens to be a valid
alias, but not all Firebird character set names are valid aliases for
Java character sets), for example NONE is not a valid Java character set
name.

You should almost never have a reason to touch the file.encoding
setting. Why are you setting this value?

If you are setting it to control how NONE works, then you would be
better off specifying both the connection encoding NONE and the Java
character set with lc_ctype=NONE&charSet=iso-8859-1, although just
specifying charSet=iso-8859-1 is probably better in that case.

The correct property is lc_ctype (or its alias encoding), but judging by
the errors below you are actually using lc_ctype.

How are you running your application, did you by any chance build a fat
JAR, instead of adding the Jaybird jar to the classpath?

This problem could be explained if the encoding definition file is not
on the classpath when running. This might happen if you built a fat
jar, and did not include
org/firebirdsql/encodings/default-firebird-encodings.xml from the
Jaybird jar in your own jar.

Looks like I will need to add a fallback to define this in code as well...

This error indicates you are trying to connect to Firebird 3 and haven't
initialized the security database yet. Please check the Firebird 3
release notes.

This error indicates that you have specified both lc_ctype and encoding.
Encoding is an alias for lc_ctype and you should specify a property only
once.
