database connection error associated with the enco

I have Spring + Hibernate application.

I use PostgreSQL as data store.

application compiles good but when I deployed it to Tomcat and launch it I see following stacktrace:

On another PC this application launch good. Difference: locale. Working PC has English language but another - not.

Please help to find cause of the problem.

update

Looks like database doesn't understand password:

from:PostgreSQL Error Codes

28P01 INVALID PASSWORD invalid_password

update

I didn't know the cause of the problem but problem disappear after database recreation.

This is a known issue with the PostgreSQL version 3 protocol, where the client doesn't know the encoding to decode error messages sent by the server early in the protocol handshake.

It will be fixed when the version 4 protocol is produced, but that's a long way off yet.

In the mean time the only real workaround is to make sure that the client's default encoding is compatible with the server's. The easiest way to do that is to set LC_MESSAGES to something like en_US.UTF-8, perhaps via the lc_messages option in postgresql.conf.
