Handling accents in DOM Documents

Hi!

When trying to validate in java a previously generated signed xml file, the
verifier stumbles upon accentuated characters such as 'é' (&eacute;).
Whereas the character is correctly interpreted in the xml file, it is
transformed into a hieroglyph which is neither its UTF-8 nor its ISO-8859-1
representation. Because of that, the validation fails every time. What can I
do to specify a charset for the domdocument which correctly encodes this
type of character?
Thanks!
