UTF-16 encoding / axis.xmlEncoding wsdd parameter

[Fontanel, Laurent]

The documentation [http://ws.apache.org/axis/java/reference.html]
states that it is possible to specify force UTF-16 encoding using
the global wsdd parameter 'axis.xmlEncoding'.

I have tried to set it in my server-config.wsdd and I'm still seeing
UTF-8 encoded responses. Is this a bug? Am I missing something?
(I'm using Axis 1.1).
