Tomcat 5 default encoding

[Artur Wronski]

Hello!

How can I change Tomcat 5 default encoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8?
I can't find it in the configuration files.

Thanks for help,
Arthur

Tomcat 5 default encoding is UTF8.
But if it was changed and you want UTF8 back, then modify it globally
in $CATALINA_BASE/conf/web.xml or in your webapp's web.xml file.

Tomcat 5 default encoding is UTF8.

I have something different in my mind. When I check encoding in any servlet
(response.getCharacterEncoding()) a get ISO-8859-1. I thought there
is some way to change tomcat/java default encoding to utf8. I'm not sure is
it
a jvm or tomcat responsible for this.

I'll be very thankful if you know the answer.
