Re: Data sorting problem Tomcat-Oracle
Ahhh. The archives have a lot of references about System environment variables not being set when run as a service. If you are using the type 4 driver - I don't think it looks for Environment variables or the registry since the driver is pure java. Oracle's support would probably be more helpful for the appropriate connection string. (Or setting) -Tim Harald Henkel wrote: Tim Funk wrote: Tomcat knows nothing about NLS_SORT.

Re: Data sorting problem Tomcat-Oracle
Hello Tim. Thanks, I got at last a working solution. Tim Funk wrote: Ahhh. The archives have a lot of references about System environment variables not being set when run as a service. I guess it doesn't have too much to do with that. I now tested running it standalone. If you are using the type 4 driver - I don't think it looks for Environment variables or the registry since the driver is pure java. Oracle's support would probably be more helpful for the appropriate connection string. (Or setting) That was a good hint. Indeed I'm usually using a Jdbc Thin driver and I looked into some Oracle newsgroup. I tried starting Tomcat standalone adding a -Duser.language=en into the java starting command. And this works. Again, thanks for the hint, I wasted a lot of time on this one. Should really ask earlier.
