If your JSP page is being included from another servlet, then it won't be allowed to set the content-type (or charset) of the response. Just a wild guess here :).
The HTTP/1.1 RFC states that the character encoding of the headers is iso-8859-1. That is why Tomcat doesn't provide an option to change it.
