Hi Everyone,

I am using MySQL + Hibernate for an application. I am facing an issue in making the application I18N.

I have created a table which has all column types as UTF8 and in the hibernate.cfg.xml, I have
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost/mydb?useUnicode=true&amp;characterEncoding=UTF-8</property>

When I use normal hibernate to manage this POJO, I am able to save and read UTF8 values. But moment I use Hibernate Shards to manage this POJO, I am not able to write ( but I can read ) UTF8 Strings ( e.g: saving chinese strings results in ???? in db ).

-> Both hibernate.cfg.xml ( normal and sharded case ) has the above connection url.

Could someone help me understand what might be going wrong ?

Thanks,
Rakesh

Sorry everyone... I had posted it too quick.

The issue was the I was using normal DAO to load a table which contained the sharded DAO configuration. I had forgotten to update the table property :(
