Kristjan's response is the best that I've seen so far on this thread. Assuming that you are using Tomcat 4.x, you can also set <%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8" %> (of course, s/UTF-8/<my-encoding>/ as needed). This tells the JSP compiler what charset your page was stored as, so that it can correctly translate static text within the page. The <%@page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %> directive is used to translate dynamic content.
