From Javadoc for OutputStreamWriter:

An OutputStreamWriter is a bridge from character streams to byte streams:
Characters written to it are encoded into bytes using a specified charset.
The charset that it uses may be specified by name or may be given
explicitly, or the platform's default charset may be accepted.

So the answer is verdor-specific. Of course, you can tell javac and java
runtime to use the desired encoding, but that's not fool-proof.

To do a conversion from one encoding to another, you can use the new
String(oldBytes, charset) constructor. You can implement that in your
customized Writer.

Hope it helps:).

Thank you for the answer.

I know about this possibility using filters (and I have done something).


But the original question (and my question) is about simpler way: Is it
possible to globally set (somewhere in JVM or Tomcat configuration)
default character encoding for all created Writers?
