Are you sure about that? Could it be that you actually did have this 
problem with tomcat 5.0.x but just didn't notice? When did you upgrade 
from tomcat 4.x?

There are issues going from tomcat 4 to 5 that could affect this, but 
none that I know of, just from 5.0.14 -> 16.

Check the character encoding of your pages in the browser. Look in the 
response headers to see it. What is it & what do you want it to be?
