for searching from JSP forms try escaping your input with this:

<%! public static String sqlEscape(String str) {
       if(str==null) return(null);
       StringBuffer strBuf = new StringBuffer();
       for(int i=0; i<str.length();i++) {
          char c = str.charAt(i);
          if(c== '\'') {
              strBuf.append(c);
              strBuf.append(c);
          } else {
             strBuf.append(c);
          }
       }
       return(strBuf.toString());
   }
%>

And put sqlEscape around the accented text you want

 (sqlEscape(request.getParameter("someTxt"))   !=null)
