What I am doing is reading Arabic text from a table manupulating it and forming another string and putting it back to another table. What extra steps I need to take to ensure that java can fetch Arabic string from the database,manipulate it and then put the new Arabic String back to another table? OR I need not do anything because the jdbc driver takes care of the conversion?

If you have your character set currectly configured and a JDBC driver that works well (perhaps Oracle?) you might be able to just use ResultSet.getString("column_name") and be okay.

If that does not work, you may have to get each column value as a byte[] and construct a new String object and specify the encoding.
