Hi,

We have an issue with ICConnector. We set/get EDU fields containing values with special national characters. The setting EDU field works fine. When we get the same EDU field, the special characters go wrong. We have analyzed the AIC integration components and found the followings:
- The AIC HTTPConnector sends the response with correct UTF-8 charaters, however there is no header for charset in the HTTP message. Here is the request/response TCP messages captured by Wireshark:
ICConnector get EDU request:

Response from AIC HTTPConnector:

- The problem starts here, the response seems wrong in ICConnector log, and the value is sent back to OD incorrectly:

We do retreat the response as UTF-8 characters. The logger may not write the characters correctly. Have you been able to verify the problem by other means?

You are right. The problem was with Tomcat JVM.
Adding -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 Java option to Tomcat service script solved the problem.
