In JSP 1.1 you cannot reliably do this. In JSP 1.2, the container is
required to allow you to set the content type and character encoding
dynamically, either like this:
<%
String contentType = "text/html;charset=Big5"; // Or whatever
response.setContentType(contentType);
%>
or by having a custom tag do this for you. The only restriction is that
you have to set this before the output buffer is flushed.
