AFAIK, you can set a System property from within a servlet. I use a static
initializer
in one of mine that reads a .properties file and merges it into the System
properties
list.
You have my sympathy for writing international web apps in Java. Yes, there is
a
plethora of i18n features, but most assume you are reading and writing to/from
the
platform that is hosting the JVM. Communicating with other devices (i.e.
browsers,
or, in my case, network printers) in various encodings is a major pain. The
architecture was simply not designed with this in mind, and you are discouraged
from extending this functionality since it resides in a sun.io package. In my
humble
opinion, this is a major hole in the Java libraries for this kind of work... My
$0.02.

Well, that's a bummer. Some (third party) packages do not give
you the option of explicitly specifing your encoding in I/O
operations (a notable example of this, AFAIK, is JDBC in JDK
1.1.X). So without "file.encoding" you are in a bit of a
hole :-(
