Arabic parameters

[Wael Reslan]

is it possible to pass an Arabic string to a web service ?
i tried with the simple hello world example but am getting this

Hello وائل

instead of this

Hello وائل

help appreciated
thanks

Where are you getting this? Keep in mind that most consoles/terminals as well as simple-minded text editors can't handle non-ASCII characetrs.

am using Netbeans 7.2 and testing the Web Service using the internal "Test Web Service" option in netbeans

I'm not familiar with that, so I don't know if it supports displaying non-ASCII characters.
