[Fernando Iriazabal Navajas]

Package: tomcat5.5
Version: 5.5.20-2
Severity: important

I've an unstable distro of debian and i use tomcat5.5 package to serve·
an application. This application is UTF-8 encoded. If i try to see an·
static html (UTF-8 encoded) directly, i see it well, but if i try to see·
an html page served by a servlet (again UTF-8 encoded) i get '?'·
character where there must be some special characters.

for example, instead of 'ó', i get '?'...·
