Greek from MySql Prob

[Vlachogiannis Evangelos]

Hi all,

I have developped two portlets. One writing to MySql database and one
reading from that. My problem is when I use Greek (ISO8859_7). The data
stored to database seems ok, greek. When I am trying to retrieve it and
display it to jetspeed screen I am getting those ?????. What I have done, is
trying to convert ISO8859_7 to utf-8 but does not seem to work.
Here is my code:

    String string =null ;
               try {
                   // Convert from Unicode to UTF-8
                   string = out.toString();
                   byte[] utf8 = string.getBytes(ISO8859_7);

                   // Convert from UTF-8 to Unicode
                   string = new String(utf8, "UTF-8");
               } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
      }

     viewbutton = null;
      return (new StringElement(string));


Any help pls??
Thnx
Vangelis
