    The environment is 9iAS on Solaris 2.8 with an 8.1.7 database.

    The database has character set WE8ISO8859P1.

    Umlauts (the two dots above certain vowels), are dropped when using a web application based on the PL/SQL web development kit.

    Oracle Forms with the same userid and the same database doesn't change the data.

    I think it is a client problem, but need a suggestion on how to set the NLS_LANG on a web client.

    Any ideas?

    This was solved by setting the NLS_LANG parameter in the startJServ.sh script.

    NLS_LANG=GERMAN_GERMANY.WE8ISO8859P1; export NLS_LANG

    NLS_LANG is therefore set at the web server level and cannot be different for each DAD.

    AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1 will work also.
