Hello all!

I have a problem related to char encoding when saving objects to database. I'm using Hibernate v2, MySQL 4.1.12, Tapestry and Mac OS X 10.4.

The database is using default char encoding (latin1). There is no problem at all when I get objects from database, but when I save them I'm in trouble.

I have a table with users, with the user name, and firstname. The application is in spanish, so it's not difficult to find names like "Expósito" or "Núñez". When I obtain an user from de db with this non-standard characters, the complete name is ok. The application shows the correct thing. But when I update those objects (an sql update is issued to the databse), the international chars (ñ, á, é, í, etc.) are being replaced by other rare chars (like "-, _, etc.).

I would be grateful if you could help.
Thanks in advance!
