We are having a host of problems with character encoding at the moment. Somehow between the UI and the Struts Action our euro symbols are being turned into question marks. I have fiddled with the JVM file.encoding, using JSP page directives for content type and much else besides. I thought Java strings were UTF-8 by default.

Anyway, I stripped off the JSP page directive for encoding and it appears the tomcat default becomes Latin 1 ISO-8859-1. The euro character does not appear in this charset and I need Cp1252 to be default.

Can I change Tomcat's default charset?

Thanks ADC
