That's completely uncorrect. The .jsp or .java files are
text files in some 8-bit encoding, so Strings specified
inside these files need to be converted into UNICODE by the
java compiler. If you do nothing, then the default encoding is used,
which depends on the operating system current locale.
Otherwise you can specify encoding by
javac -encoding windows-1251 MyClass.java

Probably the other provider has another OS locale.
On UNIX check LC_ALL variable, on NT check 'Regional settings'.
So if you compile your servlets on an NT machine, you probably
have corect locale setting, but if you compile them on a UNIX box,
the locale is not set correctly. Also beware that windows-1251
encoding is used for cyrillic on NT, but on UNIX it is ISO-8859-5 !

Sure, you have to provide correct locale to the javac command.
