I am having difficuly figuring out why some extended characters I have
stored in Oracle 8i display OK in some cirsumstances and not in others. The
data in question is stored in a 'LONG' and the character in question is a
bullet (HEX 95). This data was originally imported via JDBC from a MySQL
database. Our app is based on JBoss/Jetty and is displaying the characters
in a JSP based page, getting the data via JDBC.

Here is a breakdown on when it does and doesn't show up right....

Running (Jetty on Windows) w/ (Oracle 8i on Solaris): OK
Running (JBoss/Jetty on Solaris) w/ (Oracle 8i on Solaris): corrupted
Running (ATG Dynamo on Solaris) w/ (MySQL on Solaris): OK

It seems as if something is getting screwed up by the Solaris to Solaris
JDBC Oracle connection.

Any help would be appreciated.
