In my copy of your mail the queryByAttribute.java-program is not
attached. Could somebody post program including testdata (or
download-url) ?
I 'd like to study a running example, because I don't understand
how umlaut-conversion from Java to Mapserver-kernel can run
properly anyway and I'd like to understand it :-)

It seems Norbert found a kind of answer to his question

He suggested

Could you be more precisly? I do not understand what must be converted to
what.
How must this be applied to convert a Java-String to a proper
"Mapserver-String" (?)
-----------
Is somebody willing to try to add an "UTF-8 -> ISO-8859-Conversion" in
mapscript_wrap.c for testpurposes? (Even in the case it works, this would
not be a real solution because it bypasses swig.)
