Apache 2 and Hebrew - updates

Shalom,

I have upgraded to Apache2, with tomcat 4.1.30, on a win2000 machine -
I had a problem to see Hebrew in some of my HTML pages, which were
generated by a java servlet dynamically.

I tried to comment out the line:
AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1
in the httpd.conf file, and all of my html pages have the tag
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
And still I saw jibrish in the html pages created dynamically.

Well, the good news are there is a simple fix to this:
1) Go to regedit ->
Hkey-local-machine ->
System ->
Current system settings ->
Services -> Apache Tomcat ->
parameters.
2) Add 1 to "jvm option code" value.
3) Create a new string called "jvm option number j", where j = "jvm
option code" - 1.
4) change the value for the new string to
"-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8", without the "".
5) restart your machine.
That is it. It should help with the Hebrew!

Did you only try to comment out or did you actually comment out?
Perhaps you used { Pascal comments } ?

As you have been told twice, this line is irrelevant.

What's your definition of "simple"?
Apparently this procedure is sufficient but I doubt it is necessary.
