You do it wrong. When you want to send Korean text
to browser from Java servlet, do it as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------
public void service (HttpServletRequest request,
                      HttpServletResponse response) 
                   throws ServletException, IOException
 {
   PrintWriter out;
   response.setContentType("text/html; charset=KSC5601");
   out = response.getWriter();
   try {
   //add code here   
    out.println("...");
   //-----        
   } catch (Exception ex) {out.println(ex.getMessage());ex.printStackTrace(out);}
 }
--------------------------------------------------------------

If you want to write to files, do it as follows:
--------------------------------------------------------------
PrintWriter out
 = new PrintWriter(
    new OutputStreamWriter(
     new FileOutputStream("koreanfile.txt"),"KSC5601"));
out.println("...");
--------------------------------------------------------------

If you want to use Korean encoding as default, you have to specify
it to your JVM. In WindowsNT, use "Regional settings", in UNIX,
use "LC_ALL=ko_KR java MyClass" for starting JVM.

Hope this helps

You can also set the "file.encoding" property. Add the
following to your "jserv.properties":

wrapper.bin.parameters=-Dfile.encoding=<your encoding>

It may be also useful to specify your default locale and
timezone:

wrapper.bin.parameters=-Duser.language=<your language> -Duser.region=<your country>
wrapper.bin.parameters=-Duser.timezone=<your timezone>

Best regards :-)

No, file.encoding property should not be set from
the command line.
See the "evaluation" part of bug in
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4256423.html
