unrecognized CHARSET - UnsupportedEncodingException

[James Giroux]

Recently after setting up a new test environment for our application we received the following error when we tried to start the application:

SQLException: SQLState(JZ00L)
SQLWarning: reason(JZ0I5: An unrecognized CHARSET property was specified: cp850.) SQLstate(JZ0I5) vendor code(0)
SQLWarning: reason(JZ006: Caught IOException: java.io.CharConversionException: java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: Cp850) SQLstate(JZ006) vendor code(0)
getConnection failed: java.sql.SQLException: JZ00L: Login failed. Examine the SQLWarnings chained to this exception for the reason(s).

After a couple hours of going around in circles, we finally resolved the problem by moving to a later version of the sdk and runtime. We went from version 1.4.2 to 1.4.2_09. The problem seems to occur on Windows Server 2003, but not on Win 2000. Hope this helps save someone some time.
