UTF-8 Arabic with HttpServletResponse truncate output

I have a script that output some XML containing UTF-8 characters. It works well with latin languages (éàœ,...) but fail when I enter arabic characters: The output is truncated at the first arabic character (ضصيضص).

My code looks like that:

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) {
        //...
        res.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
        res.setContentType("text/xml; charset=utf-8");
        String xml = getXMLString();
        LOG.debug(xml); // Output is correct here 
        op.print(xml);
        op.flush();
        op.close();
}

Also, it appears correctly when I display it as HTML

Instead of HttpServletOutputStream (for binary data), use PrintWriter getWriter of ServletResponse that can send character string to client.

 res.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
 res.setContentType("text/xml; charset=utf-8");
 PrintWriter writer = res.getWriter();
 //now write your text
