Steve,
Not being an expert in this area, I apologize for possibly wasting your
time, but I was hoping to seed your exploration with the information I
was given as a starting point.
It "seems" as though the file.encoding system property is related to the
file system you are using (HFS, z/FS).
It very well could be that there is an esoteric property related to the
actual mount point you are using... heck I don't know.
Here is a small java program I wrote to see what my file.encoding system
property was:
import java.io.*;
public class Jtest
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
System.out.println("file.encoding is "
+ System.getProperty("file.encoding"));
}
}
In my case, the result was:
file.encoding is Cp1047
Cp1047 is EBCDIC Latin-1 (If I'm not mistaken).
I'm curious if yours says the same thing. It may not be a Java setting
that is causing your problem but a file system attribute somewhere.
Just trying to help,
Kevin
