A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
All JDBC application connecting against a datadabase engine using the roman8 as default chasert can works correctly.
Note : Roman9 is an evolution of Roman8 which includes the Euro Symbol

JUSTIFICATION :
- Most of the Production DataBases running on HP are using the Roman8 as default Charset.
- It a a very costly operation to change the default charset for production Databases and such operation can produce unpredictable results

- Roman8 has been the default charset during a while. This the reason why there so much databases using this charset on HP.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Can open a JDBC connection against a Database using Roman8/Roman9 as default charset
ACTUAL -
Can not connect

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Use jConnect's connection property JCONNECT_VERSION=2 which uses jConnect's own PureConverter class. But this revert to old jConnect beahvior and most of the time the connection of client aplication can not be modified
