If you take the file as a byte sequence, without processing by a Reader/Writer, its encoding will be unchanged.

The Sun JDK 1.3 on Linux, in locale de_DE, knows that the locale encoding is ISO-8859-1. Even with glibc-2.1.x. I verified that.

Hi Bruno, thanks for your answer. > What do you mean by "write it to a db"? If you take the file as a byte > sequence, without processing by a Reader/Writer, its encoding will be > unchanged. The FileReader/FileWriter use the locale's encoding, i.e. > ISO-8859-1 in your case. To be precise, I do some XPath queries and pick out single values, put them all together in an sql query and write them to a db with jdbc. And you are right, the encoding is unchanged. Again this points to a locale problem .... When I wright a little test program, just outputting a string with german umlauts, my linux box does it as expected. Principally it knows its locale all right. Thanks, Heike - Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
