Hi We always use a Filter to convert request encoding to UTF-8, using request.setCharacterEncoding("utf-8") method. now with the Seam, when a character entered in a languages other than english, in the server-side we cant obtain the right character and we need something like Filter to set the character encoding during the request life cycle. I think about jsf converter, but it doesnt work. any suggestion? thanks View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4004711#...
