Hello Bruno,
Thank you so much for your help. I've got it working now! Sorry I didn't
respond earlier.

After reading this, I thought I could solve the problem by moving the Arabic
text to a request parameter. You've suggested this solution too in a private
message to me. But this didn't work.

I'm using Tomcat 5.0. I have multiple connectors for virtual hosts. This
attribute must be set for every connector.

At first cocoon didn't work after this. But your suggestion in a private
message to me was right. The class wasn't located in the right directory in
the jar. I uses javac and jar here and not Eclipse or Maven.

It does!

Please do. I think Cocoon should use UTF-8 wherever possible.
