Other Mark's answer was a little incomplete. If your Servlet uses
response.getWriter, then the spec requires that you get a charset on the
Response headers. If your Servlet doesn't specify a charset in the
response.setContentType, then a Filter something like:
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
FilterChain chain)
throws ServletException, IOException {
if(request instanceof HttpServletRequest) {
HttpServletRequest hreq = (HttpServletRequest)request;
HttpSession session = hreq.getSession();
String enc = (String)session.getAttribute(MY_ENC_ATTR_NAME);
if(enc == null) {
enc = getCharSetForUser(hreq); // Your lookup from DB
function
if(enc != null) {
session.setAttribute(MY_ENC_ATTR_NAME, enc);
}
}
if(enc != null) {
response.setCharacterEncoding(enc);
}
}
chain.doFilter(request, response);
}
