Hi Inma, xmlutf8.getBytes() doesn't return what you think. Both ByteArrayOutputStream.toString() [1] and String.getBytes() [2] use the default encoding (which is probably ISO-8859-1 on your system) for converting between bytes -> chars and chars -> bytes. You can fix this by specifying the encoding on these methods, but if I were you I'd avoid doing the conversions altogether and just create the StreamSource/StreamResult with a java.io.StringReader/java.io.StringWriter instead.
Thanks.
