Set encoding in xml document

Question

Hi, I create org.dom4j.Document in java and I need set encoding to
windows-1250, but I don't know how it do. I have always default encoding UTF-8.
Document document = DocumentHelper.createDocument();
Element zakazky = document.addElement(ZAKAZKY);
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<zakazky><zakazka><znacka_form>40708050001</znacka_form>......
Thanks.

This reply is a bit late (better late than never), but if anyone is stuck on this issue hopefully you can find this answer:
You set the encoding when you use the Transformer class (when you output the XML)
File file = new File("file.xml");
OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(file), "windows-1250"); //I don't think you need to set it here, but you can if you like.
TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer output = tf.newTransformer();
StreamResult sr = new StreamResult(osw);
output.setOutputProperty("encoding", "windows-1250");
output.transform(ds, sr);By the way why do people say that Document has a method called getEncoding (and hence setEncoding) when it clearly doesn't - read your documents first before you start talking utter nonsense.
