Customizing Character Encoding for the Siebel Java Data Bean

The character encoding of the Siebel Server and the character encoding of the Siebel client must be the same. This allows the Siebel client and the Siebel Server to communicate correctly. If the Siebel client and the Siebel Server default character encoding cannot be the same, then you can modify the Siebel client character encoding.

To customize character encoding for the Siebel Java Data Bean

To set the file.encoding system property to the proper character encoding, do one of the following:
- Set it for the entire Java Virtual Machine on the command line. For example:
```
java -Dfile.encoding=ascii java_application
```
- Set it in the environment variable. For more information, see your particular Java Virtual Machine.
- Set it for a particular Java component. Add the following line to the Java component:
```
System.setProperty("file.encoding", CodePageValue);
```
  where:
  - CodePageValue is a Siebel value that specifies character encoding for the Java Data Bean.

The following information lists character encoding mappings you can use for the Java Data Bean. The Siebel Value column contains the codes you can specify in the CodePageValue variable.
