Dear Sir/Madam,

We are developing a bilingual site for Citibank Korea.For this we are storing 
the Korean and the English Phrases in the Rule Engine which gets populated at 
server startup.Now when the user makes a certain request for Korean display we 
pick up the Korean Phrases from the rule engine and populate an XML whose 
encoding has been set to utf-8.
We have a XSL file which has the same encoding.
We are using a StreamResult object which accepts a OutputStreamWriter in its 
constructor.The encoding of the OutputStreamWriter has been again set to utf-8
But the Transformer simply ignores the encoding specified and in the output the 
encoding is lost.

Please reply.I am attaching a snippet of the code.

        String htmlString = null;
	
        //Creating the Writer.
	ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
	OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(baos,"utf-8");

	StreamResult htmlResult = new StreamResult(osw);

	// get the transformer factory
	TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();

	// get the transformer object and set it with XSL.
	Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(xslSource);

	//Use transformer to convert XML to HTML.
	transformer.transform(xmlSource, htmlResult);

	htmlString = baos.toString("utf-8");

        //Returning the html output.
        return htmlString.
