utf-8 is required by client site library is used to parse XML. So, no way to change.

3. Re: How to change characterEncoding?
I have to use iso-8859-1 encoding, I cannot move to utf-8 until our database server's charset is changed.
With iso-8859-1 encoding, we have been successful in allowing users to enter Non-ASCII characters through browser and save it in the database.
Now the real issue is, let's say I have a inputText, where I enter a Euro symbol €. If I have a h:selectBooleanCheckbox, and add a4j support so it reRenders the text box, the Euro symbol looks messed.
Here is a very simple usecase of what I am taling about: Looking through "LiveHttpHeaders", I notice that the contentType is set to "utf-8" in the response, as soon as I clicked on the checkbox (Ajax Request). And I am "guessing" that the Euro character getting distorted is becaused of this.
Is there any way of avoiding or working around this issue?
