Ok.
I already found out how-to ;-) http://cocoon.apache.org/2.2/1366_1_1.html 4. Setting Cocoon's encoding (especially CForms) solved my issue.

Googling around has not yet resulted in a solution ;-( In my sitemap I have declared the serializer like below: <map:serializer logger="sitemap.serializer.xml" mime-type="text/xml" name="xml" src="org.apache.cocoon.serialization.XMLSerializer"> <encoding>UTF-8</encoding> </map:serializer> All my stylesheets contain following <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/> But nothing seems to affect the end result: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> Anybody who can explain how to override the encoding to UTF-8? Thx in advance, Robby
