Emad,
Is this issue occurring in the Mid-Tier, in the Windows client, or both? If it is just the Mid-Tier, then what web server and servlet engine are you using?

I have encountered this problem on our Mid-Tier (running on RedHat Linux) due to the default UTF-8 locale setting in the OS. The UTF-8 locale is unicode, but the data stored in our MS-SQL database is not unicode -- so the accented characters did not render correctly. When we were running ServletExec on our old 6.3 Mid-Tier, we resolved the problem by adding the parameter "-Dfile.encoding=ISO8859-1" to the the jvm exec call in the StartServletExec script:

(Before)

   JCMD="$JR 
-Djava.naming.factory.initial=com.newatlanta.servletexec.InitialContextFactory

(After)

   JCMD="$JR -Dfile.encoding=ISO8859-1 
-Djava.naming.factory.initial=com.newatlanta.servletexec.InitialContextFactory

After we upgraded to 7.0.01, I believe we encountered the same problem with accented characters in the Mid-Tier -- only this time, we were using the Tomcat servlet engine, since BMC no longer bundles ServletExec... I can't seem to find where the setting was that we changed in Tomcat to correct this, but it should be a similar parameter to the above parameter that we used for ServletExec.

Hope this helps,

Thomas Bean
