Change encoding of Java Vm to ISO-8859-1

[Ann]

Hi,
Is there any way to Change encoding of Java Vm to ISO-8859-1?

i am using Java vm along with an application called opencms.
I get the following error message..

Error: the encoding of your Java VM is different from
the OpenCms encoding!

Java VM file encoding: UTF-8
OpenCms encoding: ISO-8859-1

To continue the setup process:

* Change the encoding of your Java VM. To do that
you must modify the file.encoding setting. Using
Apache Tomcat, a different encoding can be set in the
environment variable CATALINA_OPTS by the -D parameter
e.g.:
CATALINA_OPTS=-Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1

* If you want to use an encoding different from
ISO-8859-1, you must also adjust the
defaultContentEncoding setting in
WEB-INF/config/opencms.properties.

Unless you have specific encoding requirements, you
should use the default ISO-8859-1 setting. Please
refer to the Sun documentation for a list of supported
encodings for your OS.
Can some one please help me out?
Thanks,
Ann

Figured it out

Add the following entry in /root/.bash_profile/ or etc/profile

CATALINA_OPTS=-Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1

I just had the same problem. Here's what I did to fix it:

OS: WinXP Pro

1. Right-click on the Tomcat icon in the system tray and select
'Properties'

2. Select the Java VM tab.

3. Add -Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1 to the Java Options box on a
separate line after the other stuff.

You may need to restart Tomcat after making this change. This fixed my
problem right away. I hope it helps.
