Hi, with this configuration:

DSpace 1.4.1
Debian 3.1
Tomcat 5.5
Oracle 10
Oracle JDBC Thin driver

our DSpace doesn´t work well with diacritics.

When a new submission is done, just when I submit a new item to the 
appropriate collection, all the diacritics appear corrupted in the 
WebUI. Looking at the tables in the database, they are correcty 
recorded. So, it seems to me that dspace is uploading well the data, but 
when it shows it in the user interface (download) it makes (or doesn´t 
make) some kind of transformation and then the diacritics are corrupted.

Our database is working with  ISO-8859-1, not UTF-8. In fact, if we put 
the db in UTF-8 it works quite well, but due to administrative 
considerations, we prefer make it work with the ISO-8859-1 codepage. We 
have already configured Tomcat so that it works with UTF-8, and it 
doesn´t make any difference at all. (The browser automatically works 
with UTF-8 as well)

We have the database in a different computer than the dspace server. 
Analyzing the traffic between the database, the server and the browser, 
we have found that the data is codified as:

Upload:
1- From the browser to the dspace server: UTF-8
2- From the dspace server to the database: ISO-8859

Download:
3-From the database to the dspace server: ISO-8859
4-From the dspace server to the browser: ????

Any idea? Thanks in advance
