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: 2.0.2.GA, 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.
