But
  Writer writer = new OutputStreamWriter( bOutStream , "UTF-8");
will work.
You apparently forgot my advice from my first reply to your problem
(repeated):
"I hope you're aware that in order to have XMLOutputter use specific
encoding, you must specify the encoding BOTH to a Writer AND to the
XMLOutputter setEncoding".
