DialogueFilter breaks character encoding
----------------------------------------

                 Key: SEAMSECURITY-68
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMSECURITY-68
             Project: Seam Security
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0.Final
         Environment: JBoss 6 Final, JSF 2
            Reporter: Stefano Travelli

Including seam-security-external among the dependencies causes the application to use the default iso-8851-1 character encoding for parsing form parameters.

After digging into the code I found that character encoding would be set to the correct value by the FacesServlet that calls request.setCharacterEncoding(). This method must be called before any attempts to get a parameter from the request, since at the very first getParameter() the request parses all parameters with the specified encoding.

However seam-security-external introduces a DialogueFilter that look for a dialogId parameter too early (see: https://github.com/seam/security/blob/master/external/src/main/java/org/jboss/seam/security/external/dialogues/DialogueFilter.java#L32) causing all the parameters to be parsed as iso-8859-1 and the subsequent encoding set by the FacesServlet to be ignored.
