Hmm odd.
I tried it on my Redhat test server and worked fine also.
Is your tomcat 6 install a default/fresh install?
What browser are you using? What character encoding does it think the
HelloWorldExample
output is coming in as?
Odd indeed!
The tomcat6 install is from a fresh install. The browser I'm using is FF3.
Really, apart from Tomcat 5.5 and 6, all else is equal: it's the same app
(same war-file), running on the same hardware using exactly the same java.
And to display the app I use one and the same browser (with different
tabs)
but still my application gives this difference:

Will if possible use
£
instead... that I think its font independent...
Otherwise I think you have to sorround that
getCurrencyInstance
stuff with a font... and tell it what font it must use...
... I think
I'm just wondering how the systems guess the character set from
getCurrencyInstance... I think the answer is there...
I think this because in a text editor if you insert a pound symbol you also
have to choose it from a font set and not all fonts support it...
So.. its getting inserted on some unknown font... and then the browser has
to guess it...
Its something like that.... £ may be easier
Have fun...
