How to set UTF-8 encoding for a file download servlet.

[nacho]

I have a servlet that sends a file to the browser, i get the data from
the datastore.

I send this headers in the servlet.

if (request.isSecure()) {
response.addHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
response.addHeader("Expires", "-1");
response.addHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
} else {
response.addHeader("Cache-Control", "private");
response.addHeader("Pragma", "public");
}

if (isIE) {
response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;
filename=\"" + encName + "\"" );
response.addHeader("Connection", "close");
response.setContentType("application/force-download; name=
\"" + encName + "\"" );
} else {
response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;
filename=\"" + encName + "\"" );
response.setContentType("application/octet-stream; name=\"" +
encName + "\"" );
if (contentLen > 0) {
response.setContentLength(contentLen);
}
}

Then i send the file to the browser, but i'm having troubles with the
file encoding.

For example, in the downloaded file i get a line like this

howDoesItWorksStep21Description=El usuario elige la operadora de su
tel??fono m??vil.

But the data is stored right in the datastore ("El usuario elige la
operadora de su teléfono móvil.")

Does anyone have idea how can i do to fix it? Am I missing any header?

Have you tried using the

setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");

method on the response object.
