Jetty response character encoding

Question

How do I set the default character encoding on my responses to UTF-8?

I\'ve tried this

    System.setProperty(\"file.encoding\", \"UTF-8\");
<

I created character encoding filter to one legacy application.

public class CharacterEncodingFilter implements Filter {

    @Override
    public void doFilter(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
        if(req instanceof Request){             
            req.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
        }
        chain.doFilter(req, res);
    }

    @Override
    public void init(FilterConfig arg0) throws ServletException {
    }

    @Override
    public void destroy() {
    }
}

In web.xml filter-mapping has the url-pattern of /*. This routes all requests from the web application through the CharacterEncodingFilter.

    CharacterEncoding
    CharacterEncoding
    my.app.filter.CharacterEncodingFilter


    CharacterEncoding
    /*
