I18n documentation should include Seam Manager uri-encoding parameter used to encode URLs and page parameters
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-4330
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-4330
             Project: Seam
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Documentation Issues
    Affects Versions: 2.2.0.CR1, 2.1.2.GA
         Environment: http://fisheye.jboss.org/browse/Seam/branches/community/Seam_2_1/doc/Seam_Reference_Guide/en-US/I18n.xml?r=10444
http://fisheye.jboss.org/browse/Seam/branches/community/Seam_2_2/doc/Seam_Reference_Guide/en-US/I18n.xml?r=10247
            Reporter: Julien Kronegg
            Priority: Minor

Seam Manager default encoding for URL and their parameters is UTF-8, which cause some issues for i18n, e.g. if the charset is ISO-8859-1. See JBSEAM-2710 and JBSEAM-3148.

While source code has been corrected in JBSEAM-2710, the documentation is still missing this new configuration, so a lot of users have problems using accented characters in page.xml parameters (param tag), e.g. :
http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4054383
http://www.seamframework.org/Community/PagesxmlNavigationEncodingProblem
http://seamframework.org/Community/EncodingProblemWithGermanSpecialCharactersAgain

It would be nice to add a paragraph in section "Other encoding settings" of chapter "Internationalization, localization and themes":

    "If your URLs or page parameters specified in page.xml contains charset sensitive characters like accented characters, you should change the URI encoding in Seam's Manager component of components.xml:
         <core:manager uri-encoding="ISO-8859-1" ...>"
