That should really be documented somewhere. I believe, however, that the approach itself (having to set an environment variable for the JVM) is really flawed. I do not understand why this is necessary at all, since there are XML headers which set the encoding of every file. And internally, Java uses Unicode anyway.

It depends on how you are starting Tomcat. Typically, you put "export LANG=de" in your System-V startup script (mostly /etc/init.d/tomcat). If you start from the command line, you can put that into .bashrc indeed. Be aware though that the LANG variable influences all linux programmes with localisation support. Maybe there is a parameter to the JVM as well, which would be better to use.
