UTF-8 via SOAP

Hi,I'm using the alfresco web services and have the problem that I don't get UTF-8 encoded text. For instance when I create a file with the name "Łódź.txt" in the alfresco webclient it is displayed correctly (database and connection are properly configured) but the Java webservice client returns "?ó

Well, this was neither an axis problem nor an alfresco one. Tomcat for some reason uses latin-1 as default encoding for responses and writing to file (two separate problems actually, which appeared to be connected). I fixed it by setting the Java option -Dfile.encoding=utf-8 and putting this in the code:

if (req.getCharacterEncoding() == null)
req.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
res.setContentType("text/html; charset=UTF-8");
res.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");

Cheers
