UnsupportedEncodingException not thrown if invalid charset (from content type) is set 
and a call to ServletResponse.getWriter() is made.

           Summary: UnsupportedEncodingException not thrown if invalid
                    charset (from content type) is set and a call to
                    ServletResponse.getWriter() is made.
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: Nightly Build
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


According the the javadocs for Servletrespons.getWriter():
  - "java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException - if the charset specified in
setContentType cannot be used"

The following code doesn't cause the UnsupportedEncodingException to be thrown:

response.setContentType("text/html; charset=invalid-charset");
response.getWriter();
