You need to set the character encoding on the HttpServletResponse object :

http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/a...e.html#setCharacterEncoding(java.lang.String)

The valid IANA charsets are defined here :

http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets

So for example, for Western langauges, you would set

response.setCharacterEncoding("IS0-8859-1");

or for Japanese :

response.setCharacterEncoding("Shift_JIS")
