How can I cleanly set the pageEncoding of all my JSPs?

Question

I need to encode all of my JSPs as UTF-8.

I\'ve looked around and found that I can use the following page directive to accomplish this:

<%@page pa

Put the following in your web.xml to achieve the goal.

<jsp-config>
    <jsp-property-group>
        <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
        <page-encoding>UTF-8</page-encoding>
    </jsp-property-group>
</jsp-config>
