[opencms-dev] Issue with file.encoding=ISO-8859-1 with web hosting company

[Polizzi, Jim]

I would like to use openCms to manage a web site that will be hosted on a server at a web hosting company.
 
My concern is that I will not be able to specify the Tomcat startup options - to specify -D.file.encoding=ISO8859-1
 
When I run openCms on my local machine - I can specify this... but I won't be able to do it on their machine.
 
Tomcat seems to use Cp1252 as it's default (or at least it does on my machine).  Can openCms work with that?
 
If yes - how?
 
Also - what does the file.encoding actually DO?  What does it effect?
 
Thanks for the help,
 
Jim
