Iso-8859-1 to UTF-8

Question

JExpert,
The encoding of my current servlet is iso-8859-1 when i execute the following method. How can I change it into UTF-8?
     public void displaySkinFile(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp, String skinFile) throws ServletException, IOException {
          try {
               String fileContent = getFileContent(skinFile);
               resp.setContentType("text/html");
System.out.println("encoding="+resp.getCharacterEncoding());
               PrintWriter out = resp.getWriter();
               out.println(fileContent);
          } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
               logAndRedirect(req, resp, skinFile);
          } catch (IOException e) {               
               logAndRedirect(req,resp,skinFile);
Thanks!!

I am having a similar problem, but whenever I do the setContentType, it is not actually switching it for me. Any ideas?
CODE:
     protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
               throws ServletException, IOException {
          PrintWriter w = resp.getWriter();
          String text;
          String path = null;
          text = map.getDocumentText(path);
               System.out.println("BEFORE: Char Encoding");
               System.out.println(resp.getCharacterEncoding());
               System.out.println("BEFORE: Content Type");
               System.out.println(resp.getContentType());
          resp.setContentType("text/html; charset=utf-8");
          resp.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
          resp.setContentLength(text.length());
          w.write(text);
               System.out.println("AFTER: Char Encoding");
               System.out.println(resp.getCharacterEncoding());
               System.out.println("AFTER: Content Type");
               System.out.println(resp.getContentType());
CONSOLE OUTPUT:
BEFORE: Char Encoding
ISO-8859-1
BEFORE: Content Type
null
AFTER: Char Encoding
ISO-8859-1
AFTER: Content Type
text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1
