If using RESTEasy you can register an Inteceptor:

import org.jboss.resteasy.annotations.interception.ServerInterceptor;
import org.jboss.resteasy.core.ResourceMethodInvoker;
import org.jboss.resteasy.core.ServerResponse;
import org.jboss.resteasy.spi.Failure;
import org.jboss.resteasy.spi.HttpRequest;
import org.jboss.resteasy.spi.interception.PreProcessInterceptor;
import org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.providers.multipart.InputPart;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;

import javax.ws.rs.WebApplicationException;
import javax.ws.rs.ext.Provider;

@Provider
@ServerInterceptor
public class ContentTypeSetter implements PreProcessInterceptor {
    @Override
    public ServerResponse preProcess(HttpRequest request, ResourceMethodInvoker resourceMethodInvoker) throws Failure, WebApplicationException {
        request.setAttribute(InputPart.DEFAULT_CONTENT_TYPE_PROPERTY, "*/*; charset=UTF-8");
        return null;
    }
}

Note: If you manually set a @Produces it overrides the ContentType set by this interceptor. If you do that, set the charset in @Produces
