* <p>
* The charset for the MIME body response can be specified explicitly using any of the following techniques: per

* response can be specified explicitly using the {@link #setCharacterEncoding(String)},
* {@link #setCharacterEncoding(Charset)} and {@link #setContentType} methods, or implicitly using the
* {@link #setLocale} method. Explicit specifications take precedence over implicit specifications. If no charset is
* explicitly specified, ISO-8859-1 will be used. The <code>setCharacterEncoding</code>, <code>setContentType</code>, or
* <code>setLocale</code> method must be called before <code>getWriter</code> and before committing the response for the
