hi ben, 

the jvm always operates with utf. Data transferred into or out of the jvm  is in a 
format matching the file.encoding property.

i don't understand why you wish to change the file.encoding. the jvm file encoding 
should really match your file system, that's why on windows it is Cp1252 and on linux 
iso-8859-15.

the file.encoding will not affect the way your request encoding or database encoding 
aligns.

why don't you email me your web.xml, your jsp, your servlet, your JNDI or database 
connectivity config and I will take a look.
