i guess you want to set the encoding of your servlets response.
you can do this, calling the setContentType() method of the
(Http)ServletResponse object - before getting a Writer or Stream.
...
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
response.setContentType("text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1");
PrintWriter blabla = response.getWriter();
....
}
