Problem with jdbc and german special characters under linux...

Hi,

I have a problem with special german characters (umlaute)
like 'ö', 'ä' and so on accessing from a java app or jsp
running on the same linux machine as the database.
I am using postgres 7.0.3 on a slackware linux distribution.

Every query returns me a '?' character from the database
instead of the correct german character. In the database is
the correct value stored (verified with psql shell).
When I make the same code from a windows client machine the
data in the resultset is OK.
Why is the data wrong if the applications runs on linux?


Thanks for help,
Uli
