title: Encoding issues with Spring and Freemarker
body: <p>I'm working on a project using Freemarker and Spring running on Jetty.  It will involve displaying characters from many different countries so I'm trying to set the encoding to UTF-8.  However, no matter what I do, it remains ISO-8859-1.  I tried to create a filter in my web.xml and I've tried putting this</p>
  
  <pre><code>  response.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
    response.setContentType("text/html; charset=utf-8");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>just before rendering the view.  But when I load the page and click "View Page Info", the encoding is always ISO-8859-1.  I've also tried hitting my app server directly to see if it was being affected by Apache but got the same result.  Any help is appreciated.</p>
