Hi all, I have a problem here regarding the encoding of serialized output. Please consider the following scenario: In the sitemap I declare the following serializer: <map:serializer name="csv" mime-type="application/vnd.ms-excel" src="org.apache.cocoon.serialization.TextSerializer"> <encoding>iso-8859-1</encoding> </map:serializer> Now when a document is created using the "csv" serializer, I expect it to be in "iso-8859-1". But no, all I get is UTF-8 encoding which screws up my german special characters (Umlaute etc.). Is there something in the code that sets encoding to some default (UTF-8???)? I grep'ed for UTF-8 but that didn't turn up anything. I found the place in org.apache.cocoon.serialization.TextSerializer that sets the output properties, and up to there everything seems OK. I'd appreciate any tips and/or hints.
