I think you may be able to set the client encoding at the user level. In that case you could use a different user for
thelegacy app than you use for the java app and have the appropriate client encoding for both cases.
try: ALTER ROLE foo SET client_encoding TO 'win1251';
Note: This is just off the top of my head, I haven't actually verified any of this.
