I am using JPasswordFiled swing API in my Sun Ray View Connector
application.For some reason it is not accepting accentuated characters. However I
see JTextField works well for accentuated characters on the same system.

I am using Java 1.6.0_23. I demonstrated the problem on my test system
(Solaris 10 U9 Sparc) with the below testcase using LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 .
When I typed è ( On a Sun Type-7 english keyboard enter compose key + e key + ~ key).

...
import javax.swing.*;
class Passwordtesting
{
public Passwordtesting()
{
JPasswordField pwd = new JPasswordField(10);
int action = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, pwd,"Enter
Password",JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION);
if(action < 0)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Cancel, X or escape key selected");
else
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Your password is "+new
String(pwd.getPassword()));
System.exit(0);
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
new Passwordtesting();
}
}
