mysql-tomcat-utf-8

i have problem with reading utf-8 encoded tables. values come with latin1 encoding. if i convert them to utf-8 it is ok. i used

DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/db?user=user&password=pss&useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=latin5");

if i convert what i get like;

String count = new String(rs.getString("productcategoryname").getBytes("ISO-8859-1"),"UTF-8");

result is as expected. how can i correct this problem without converting every string?
