Description

XsltWriter outputs XML text in ISO-8859-1 encoding by default.

Tomcat 5.5 has URIEncoding="UTF-8" set in the <Connector> element as described in the Wiki.

This outout description in the XML:

<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="utf-8" />

gives output with this header:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
Content-Type: text/xml;charset=ISO-8859-1
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2007 17:49:11 GMT

I had to change the <xsl:output> directive to this:

<xsl:output media-type="text/xml; charset=UTF-8" encoding="UTF-8"/>

This is the root cause of SOLR-233.
