-----------------------------------

Is manager the right place to put it? I don't see how this relates to conversation management.

> 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.
