Thanks Dave for the suggestion but I tried that (amongst other numerous
variations) but I still was getting System.getProperty("file.encoding") =
MacRoman.

The only way I found was to replace $JAVA_OPTS everywhere in catalina.sh
with -Dfile.encoding="Latin-1" (I suppose 8859_1 would work, just haven't
tried yet....).

I look into it more later....

Thanks,

Steven
