It worked for me.. when i used

PrintWriter out=new PrintWriter(System.out);

Also it converts the byte data to String using toString() method.. So it may be a reason for your encoding problem

PrintWriter is meant for text data, not binary data.

It sounds like you should quite possibly be converting your byte[] to a String, and then writing that string out - assuming the PrintWriter you're writing to uses an encoding which supports the characters you're interested in.

You'll also need to know the encoding that the original text data has been encoded in for the byte[], in order to successfully convert to text to start with.

You can use the outputstream directly to write the bytes.

outputStream.write(byte[] b);

try this

byte[] data = (byte[])opBinding.execute();
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(outputStream);    
out.println(new String(data));
out.flush();
out.close();

The problem is, that your code calls (implicitly) data.toString() before returning the result to your println statement.
