??? Oracle usually sets values in the registry, and by default only NLS_LANG, from which the other values are derived. If you want to change the defaults, you could either define registry entries for those, or set environment variables. I use Tomcat as service on NT. Could it be, that it doesn't get the System environment varible ? I will try starting Tomcat from the CMD.
