only call response.getWriter() when we are about to send text/xml to the client, otherwise we end of calling both getWriter() and getOutputStream() - resulting in an illegal state.

remove as many PrintWriters (uses system default character encoding only) as possible and construct OutputStreamWriters where explicit encoding can be given....
