============

The TIBCO Messaging encoding for project is UTF-8 and the domain encoding is also set to UTF-8, but the bwening startup shows the following ISO during startup:

Cause:
=====
JVM picks the default encoding from the underlying Operating System. If the default encoding for the OS is set as ISO8859-1, BWengine will pick the encoding information from the operating system.

Resolution:
==========
java.property.file.encoding=UTF-8

Define this in the designer.tra file. If deployed, you should define it in deployed the BW application TRA file and restart the bwengine.

OR

Add the following properties into %TIBCO_ROOT%/bw/5.x/lib/com/tibco/deployment/bwengine.xml in the development machine as:
    
       <property>
       <name>File Encoding</name>
       <option>java.property.file.encoding</option>
       <default>UTF-8</default>
       <description>controls messaging encoding</description>
       </property> 
        
You need to rebuild the EAR file in that machine in order to make the property available in the EAR file. In this way, the TRA file will have the properties when you deploy the EAR file.

BW project encoding and the domain encoding is as UTF-8, however, bwengine reports ISO8859-1 during startup.
