title: Configuring Tomcat 6 to support Russian cp1251 encoding
body: <p>I am migrating a struts application from Websphere to Tomcat 6 and my application has support for Russian language. In Websphere we use to pass the JVM param -Dclinet.encoding.override=cp1251 but when I tried this with tomcat by passing the JVM argument -DFile.encoding=cp1251, the system doesnt accept input (I an any text box like in search screen) and responds with invalid input.</p>
  
  <p>I also tries passing the same parameter as of Websphere (-Dclinet.encoding.override=cp1251) but didnt solve my problem.</p>
