Well tried all variations:
-Duser.language=de
-Duser.country=DE
-Dfile.encoding=utf8
-Dclinet.encoding.override=UTF-8
and none worked. The way these J2EE applications work when using globalisation is a real pain. It all starts at the browser interface, down through the application into the system so trying to find exactly where the problem lies is a nightmare. Many thanks for all the suggestions

In WebSphere there is the options to pass parameters to the JVM which I did with other servers to override the ISO character set with UTF-8 but this one looks slightly different. Will continue working on it, cheers...
Dunno if that's any help to you or not...

1.234,56?

This is the sort of thing that's built-in in .NET but no doubt broken in Java.

java.util.Locale and java.text.NumberFormat's getCurrencyInstance method?
Code:NumberFormat de = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(Locale.GERMAN); String deCash = de.format(1234.99);

but is showing:
1,234.56
I believe that somewhere there must be setting to change this to do with Java as on other systems it is okay (searching through settings on them now.) The only thing I can think of is that on one of the systems last week I changed the JVM to be UTF-8 deom ISO-8859-1 so that it would do all the ä, ö, ü, etc but I don't think that is what it is...
Setting LANG will probably work. But this will change your default locale. Not sure whether you want that.

However (as I experienced this week) it may screw with your Oracle JDBC driver as it will try to load configuration that expects the DB server to be in that language. Stupid Oracle
-Duser.language=de -Duser.country=DE (and possibly) -Dclient.encoding.override=UTF-8
passed to the JVM, which is everything! BTW, using DB2 on zOS here which shouldn't cause any problems
