Thanks, I know that the document being returned(over which I
have no control) is returning the wrong encoding string. I
ended up stripping the xml header and passing the rest to
jdom. What I was hoping for was an easy way to tell jdom to
just expect the encoding to be called UTF8. What interests me
is that at least one of the underlying parsers doesn't care
because the 4.0.4 tomcat light works(with jdk 1.4). I'm being
lazy, but I'd like to know the answer why without having to dig. 

As a side note, would you happen to know which of the parser
implementations is the most forgiving
