Question

i have used

StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
request.setCharacterEncoding("ISO-8859-1");
response.setContentType("text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1");
pw =response.getWriter();
IOUtils.copy(sImage, writer);

If any of you guys know this,how can i solve this problem

Answer 1

Try using this:

response.setContentType("text/html; charset=UTF-16LE");

Granted, it doesn't make your text ISO-8859-1, but, most browsers have no problem supporting UTF-16 these days.
