Ivan,
You're going to have to do a little testing to see _where_ the character encoding is being lost.
You should first see if the strings that you are inserting into the database are the same as being retrieved, either in your JSP, or in a little testcase (I prefer JUnit myself), by using String's .equals() method and not your 'eyes'.
The reason to do this is to isolate the different stages of encoding/decoding from each other, because there's an encoding/decoding between the JDBC driver and the database, there is one yet again between your JSP and your browser, and there is many times one yet again between your browser and your operating system.
You will need to check at _each_ stage to make sure that the characters are encoded the way you think they are.
I can state from experience that _usually_ it's not at the database level, however, it's usually a mismatch somewhere else that these problems occur (but they are hard to debug sometimes :( )
Regards,
-Mark
