Hello Hans!

HL> When the application is installed on the windows server the particular
HL> character (which is some kind of spacing character in word) gets read out of
HL> the database as
HL> Ascii code 160,

HL> BUT on the Linux server the exact same routine reads it as ascii code 65533

HL> Same database, same application config - only difference is OS

HL> The JVM's are both set up as default english installs.

Fun story ideed :-)
Are you sure you get it wron from ResultSet.getString()?

Try doing

String s = rs.getString(x);
char c = s.charAt(y);
out.print((int)c);

Are you getting different character codes?
