I just had the same problem. Here's what I did to fix it:

OS: WinXP Pro

1. Right-click on the Tomcat icon in the system tray and select
'Properties'

2. Select the Java VM tab.

3. Add -Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1 to the Java Options box on a
separate line after the other stuff.

You may need to restart Tomcat after making this change. This fixed my
problem right away. I hope it helps.
