change/set tomcat encoding

[Vaduvoiu Tiberiu <va...@yahoo.com>]

I'm having problem with tomcat encoding. I have some xml files that have encoding utf-8 but when I do a slide search, I get some errors because(or at least I think because) by default, Tomcat uses ISO-8859-1 character encoding. Googling the problem, I've read a couple of articles on mailing list about other people that had problem with the german umlaut characters. 
How can I change the default character encoding in Tomcat to utf-8?

As required by the HTTP RFC.  Take a look at the FAQ entry:
http://tomcat.apache.org/faq/misc.html#tomcat5CharEncoding

> How can I change the default character encoding in Tomcat to utf-8? 

Look at Mark T's summary (linked from the above):
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23929

Also make sure your .xml files are really stored in UTF-8.
