after some hours of trying, researching and killing some people cause of frustration, i mainly focused the problem.

Sun Wireless Toolkit 2.1beta is using latin1 as default encoding and you can change to UTF-8 by
adding "microedition.encoding=UTF-8" to a ktools.properties file. Then every of my webservices is
running fine, even my vector based on. Geee.

With Siemens its different. They dont support UTF-8, thats what someone from siemens developer portal told
me and someone else added, it can UTF-8 but not the characters i need (sounds crazy though). In any way,
i take it as "UTF-8 not supported". Here you can fiddle with readUTF method of some IO class. I havent
tried it yet.

Welcome you bright interop world, where everything is possible with webservices. This is only true for
the US guys, where every char is encoded the same whatever encoding you use. For all others, bug the
vendors to support real international character sets.
