Java - transform xml file from ISO-8859-2 to UTF-8

Question

I need to transform file from ISO-8859-2 charset to UTF-8.

My code is:

DocumentBuilder builder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
        Document doc = builder.parse(file);


        DOMSource domSource = new DOMSource(doc);

        String fileName2 = UUID.randomUUID().toString() + "222";
        Writer out = new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream("/Users/user/Kohana/" + fileName2 + ".xml"), "UTF8");

        Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
        transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
        transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, "no");
        transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "UTF-8");
        transformer.transform(domSource, new StreamResult(out));

But the problem is, that after transform, the file is still ISO-8859-2.

What am i doing wrong ?

I want that it will be UTF-8. but after you question i've checked UTF8 and my file is still ISO-... — Ilkar

Recode it outside of xslt, simple by Reading the file in and writing it out again with the appropriate encodings. The content MUST match the <?xml .... line for XML to be parsed correctly - if there is not such line the content must be in utf-8 — Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen

@Ilkar what i mean is that you create a new OutputStreamWriter to be UTF8 but i think it should be UTF-8. — Алексей

read xml using "ISO-8859-2" Reader / Stream
use xslt transform to add <?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“utf-8”?> header
use Writer / Stream constructed with "UTF-8" encoding
