Hi folks!
I have E1 8.11 SP1 on Windows2003 and Oracle 9i.
I just want to present the problem and the solution for that problem. But the case is that I have it on Web Development Client on Websphere Express. Do you know how to change this settings on Websphere Express??
The problem is:
PROBLEM:
When entering non-English text into any application in the HTML client, strange characters show up. Accent marks and tildes show as boxes and other garbage characters.

RESOLUTION:
Any EnterpriseOne user using non-English language with JAS server running on WebSphere 5 needs the modification to the setting described in this solution to avoid potential character conversion problems.

Starting from EnterpriseOne 8.9 and above, the value for key "client.encoding.override" will always be "UTF-8" for ANY language locale.

Websphere 5.0.x
The setting is located in the JVM setting page.
This page is located at: Servers/ Application Servers/{YourServerName}/ Process Definition/ Java Virtual machine/ Generic JVM Arguments

In the Generic JVM arguments input the field as -Dclient.encoding.override=UTF-8

Please see attached document in Notes/Attachments for more details

For WAS 4.0.x
Follow these steps within WAS admin console:

To add/change a JVM parameter to WebSphere Application Server V4.0.X
Open up the adminclient
Navigate to the appserver and select it
Click on the "JVM Settings" tab
Click on the "Advanced JVM Settings" button
In the "Command line arguments" field enter:
-Dclient.encoding.override=UTF8
Choose "OK"
Choose "apply"
Restart the appserver
