That was it!  the charsets.jar was not in my jre1.5.0_11 automatic update. I made a copy form my own jre installation which fixed the problem.

Thanks and I suggest that this issue be added to the README_war.txt in the Trouble-Shooting section

Sorry the problem is not solved. I was too quick in my reply. There was an alfresco enterprise trial version running and I got mixed up.

I will continue my investgations and may commeback with this issue

Ok! Now I confirm: the problem was with the charsets.jar missing from jre/lib

I had to clean up  everything and start anew. Everything is working fine now
Thanks for your fast reply.
