Websphere Express,settings for languages characters

[Sebastiau]

Hi friends!
I would like to prezent you a problem and the solution also.
I have E1 8.11 SP1 on Windows2003 and Oracle 9i.
I have the same problem but on Web Development Client working on Websphere Express. Do you know how to do similar settings on Websphere Express where Administration console is ont available?
-------------
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

Ciao guys,
Because nobody replied to my issue I would like to give the answer. On Websphere Express 5.0 when you install fixpack 2 which upgrades it to version 5.0.2 then Administration Console is available in Websphere Start menu and you can use solution described above.
Second solution to that problem is as follows:
You can change the manually inside the file server.xml located in (in my case) C:\WebSphere\Express\AppServer\config\cells\DefaultNode\nodes\DefaultNode\servers\server1 This solution is quicker and works for Websphere 5.0.
