[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-2710) Seam uses the wrong character set to encode URLs

Seam uses the wrong character set to encode URLs ------------------------------------------------ Key: JBSEAM-2710 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2710 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Norman Richards Assigned To: Norman Richards Priority: Minor Fix For: 2.1.0.GA Seam encodes URL parameters using UTF-8. Tomcat decodes URLs using ISO-8859-1. This leads to a number of problems. We need to find a way to make Seam and Tomcat use the same encodings. A workaround is to set URIEncoding="UTF-8" on the HTTP connector in the tomcat server.xml. This issue can be duplicated by entering non-standard characters into any field that will be copied to a page parameter. The search fields on any seam-gen application will produce the problem.
