Hi Andrew, Thanks for your reply (and the others). Your comments helped me a lot. Not only I used "<xsl:output" to specify the encoding but also used the following line of code to specify the transformer object encoding too:
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "ISO-8859-1"); It didn't work fine without the above line. Anyways, thank you very much for your great support :-) Keep up the good job!
