Ah, missed that little detail ... I jumped to an incorrect conclusion when
you said "model 2" :-)
In a JSP 1.1 environment (i.e. Tomcat 3.x), the character set used on the
output page itself is determined by when the container calls
response.getWriter(). There is no spec language to define this, so
containers are free to do what they want -- and Tomcat calls
response.getWriter() before your scriptlet has the chance to do anything.
Therefore, your custom character encoding is ignored.
In a JSP 1.2 environment (i.e. Tomcat 4.0), the container is supposed to
wait before calling getWriter() until you fill the buffer (or flush it
yourself). Therefore, your code should work in Tomcat 4.
