Is it supposed to be "ISO-8859-1", in the first place? Danish should be in the Latin-1
subset, AFAIK.
Also, why are you setting "request" and complaining on what is displayed (which is
correlated to "response" object)?

One thing that might be bugging you is the encoding of the HTML document. Is it se to
ISO-8859-1? Your page should look something like this:
<%@ page
contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
%>
...
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
...
</head>
...
Nix.
