Are you setting the content type appropriately and at the appropriate
time(s) -
public void ServletResponse.setContentType( String type)
to set the Content-Type HTTP header? If you are using the getWriter()
method of
public PrintWriter ServletResponse.getWriter()
the writer encodes characters according to whatever charset is given
in the content type. Examples, for WAP (WML):
response.setContentType( text/vnd.wap.wml)
For Excel spreadsheets:
response.setContentType( application/octet-stream)
You can find the MIME spec at:
http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/cgi-bin/rfc/rfc2046.html
The default content type is ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1). "...it's good form
to always set the content type before instantiating a PrintWriter."
(Hunter & Crawford, "Java Servlet Programming," p. 126)
Cheers!
