Hi Bruno,

thanks for your answer.

To be precise, I do some XPath queries and pick out single values, put
them all together in an sql query and write them to a db with jdbc.
And you are right, the encoding is unchanged.
Again this points to a locale problem .... 
When I wright a little test program, just outputting a string with german
umlauts,
my linux box does it as expected. Principally it knows its locale all right.

Thanks, Heike
