Ok,
I understand now ...
You misunderstood the usage of that filter ...
It is specified in the documentation [1]:
"encoding - Name of the character set which should be set, if no other
character set was set explicitly by a Servlet."
So for example if you specify the following
`response.setContentType("text/html");` in your servlet `UsersController` then
the specified encoding `UTF-8` will be used and not `ISO-8859-1`.
Regards,
Violeta
