HOW TO READ FRENCH ALPHABET STRINGS CORRECTLY FROM mySQL database table
CANNOT READ FRENCH ALPHABET WORDS CORRECTLY FROM mySQL database
I'm using JDBC
I have the following lines in my jsp
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%
<%@page session="true"%>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"/>
I am able to deposit french alphabet strings correnctly into a table in mySQL database
When reading, from the table, the deposited string back to another jsp I get ?? instead of the french
alphabet characters.
How do I go about it to correct this?
Please note: with UTF-8 encoding, I'm not able to deposit correctly, french alphabet strings into the database table.
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=utf-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
I do appreciate your instruction.

Does your mysql have the iso-8859-1 character set installed? If so, is it the character set for the given table?
And does the retrieving JSP also have the correct charset/encoding?
Can you retrieve the french strings correctly when you use a separate java class or servlet?

mysql> show variables gives me:
character_set: latin1

I'm assuming French is covered under latin1. I'm not sure latin1 is iso-8859-1 is it?
The retrieving JSP is set with:

DHandler servlet retrieves data from database and outputs french strings wrong! i..e, ??? instead of special french characters.
System.out.println("french
And of course, if I pass theString to a session object to be displayed on a JSP, the display contains ???.
bloodredsun. I did not understand your last statement: "If they work then it may be an issue with your servlet container".

bloodredsun. I did not understand your last statement: "If they work then it may be an issue with your servlet container".
I meant that if the other two worked and the jsp didn't then tomcat's default encoding may be at fault.
A servlet doesn't work so have you tried to connect from a standalone java class, so that it doesn't depend on the servlet container.
