Encoding mismatch between request and response

I developed a simple echo service using spring.ws.version = 2.0.3.RELEASE, MessageDispatcherServlet, an annotated endpoint without any xml marshalling just jdom(1.1).

The problem: The request encoding = iso-8859-1 (see Content-Type header and XLM processing instruction below), but the response encoding = UTF-8. I was hoping that the XML response would honor and keep the same encoding used on the request. <Input> [0xbd] = the iso-8859-1 encoded value for the one half character (1/2). <Output> [0xc2][0xbd] = the utf-8 encoded value. The encoded bytes are correct, but obviously different between the request and response. I think the jdom XMLOutputter needs to have its encoding set based on the request's encoding. Can this be done?

Here's some code from my annotated WS endpoint:
import org.jdom.Element;

@Endpoint
public class EchoEndpoint implements InitializingBean {
@PayloadRoot(localPart = "EchoRequest", namespace = "urn:Connect.EchoService/WSDL")
@ResponsePayload
public Element processEcho(@RequestPayload Element element) throws Exception ...
