Hello Jean Pierre,
just a quick suggestion: you should move to UTF-8;)
despite that, you should check the following:
-an HTML form send the text back to the server using the same  
encoding of the web page so you've got to make sure your HTML  
declares ISO-8859-1 (both in the <head> section and in the web server)
-you've got to check the encoding of your SQL database to make sur it  
also uses ISO-8859-1
-you've got a wrong connection dictionary, you are saying to use  
unicode but specify a non-unicode encoding...removing it doesn't  
change anything as java default to unicode (UTF-8)
so your connection dictionary might be  
useUnicode=false&characterEncoding=ISO-8859-1
-finally just make sur the woresponse get the right header concerning  
the encoding (ISO-8859-1 in your case)

Hope this help, I think the connection dictionary is in fault, but  
checking the other part is worth it;)
