Servlet Response

When processing a servlet response, the server uses the following order of precedence, first to last, to determine the response character encoding:

1. The ServletResponse.setContentType () method or the ServletResponse.setLocale () method.

2. The default encoding, which is ISO-8859–1.

To specify the character encoding that should be set in the Content-type header of the response if the response locale is set using the ServletResponse.setLocale method, use the locale-charset-map under the locale-charset-info element in the sun-web.xml file. For more information about this element, see locale-charset-info Element
