Greek support for jsp

Question

Hello,
I am working on an MVC model where the user submits a form where the text is in greek, passes it to a bean and that is being read by a jsp page. Even though in the eclipse console the greek characters are apperaing in the jsp page where I am using this syntax
<jsp:getProperty name="upBean" property = "articleTitle" />
the text appears in question marks. Even though I have set the character encoding to greek
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=iso-8859-7" language="java" import="java.sql.*" errorPage="" %>
and even though I have set both request and response to
req.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
res.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
Any idea why is this happening and how to fix it would be more than appreciated
Thank you

Answer 1

public void doPost (HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
     throws ServletException, IOException {
          req.setCharacterEncoding("charset=iso-8859-7");
this is how I did it but it gives me a
java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: charset=iso-8859-7
and if I use utf-8 the whole page gets messed up including tha static content
any ideas?
Thanks for your interest
