I've set up a small project using Struts 2, Tomcat, Eclipselink and MySQL, which needs to store some special characters in the database using UTF-8. I set up the database tables as "utf8_unicode_ci". The persistance.xml file looks like this:

<properties>
	<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.driver" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />
	<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/xxxxxx?useUnicode=true&amp;characterEncod‌​ing=UTF-8" />
	<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.user" value="yyyyyyyy" />
	<property name="eclipselink.logging.level" value="FINE"/>
	<property name="eclipselink.ddl-generation" value="drop-and-create-tables"/>
	<property name="eclipselink.ddl-generation.output-mode" value="sql-script"/>
	<property name="eclipselink.create-ddl-jdbc-file-name" value="datastore-create.sql"/>
	<property name="eclipselink.drop-ddl-jdbc-file-name" value="datastore-drop.sql"/>
	<property name="eclipselink.application-location" value="/home/richardh/dddd/"/>
	<property name="eclipselink.deploy-on-startup" value="false"/>
	<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.password" value="zzzzzzz"/>
</properties>


When special characters are entered through the app, the EclipseLink logs show the special characters in the INSERT / UPDATE statements in the log file. However, they aren't in the database correctly. (They show up as "?".) When I take the same statements and manually run them against the database, everything works fine. I'm not sure where to go from here.

Thanks in advance for any ideas anyone can provide.

See if all things on java side are configured to use UTF-8, like sources, IDE, tomcat, maven, JVM, Operating System, etc..., you just checked JDBC connection.
