UTF-8 encoding problem with page parameters.

[trincao]

Hi,

I'm building a simple search page and a search results page.

I have a text search box on the search page, and in the results page I want to have:

1. the searchText as page parameter and;


2. an <h:OutputText> also with the searchText.

I have placed the <param .../> on the pages.xml.
I have <?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?> facelets XTMLs
On components.xml I have the line

<web:character-encoding-filter encoding\="UTF-8" override-clien\t="true" url-pattern="*.seam" />

When I write accented characters on the text box anc click search, the search results page shows strange characters on the searchText <h:OutputText>.

I have been able to find out that these strange characters are decoded from the GET parameter as ISO8859-1 (instead of UTF-8).

The whole problem disappears if I remove the page parameter.

How can I tackle this problem?

Environment:

Seam 2.0.1 / Facelets / ICEfaces 1.6.2

JDK 1.5.0.14

JBoss 4.2.2

Thank you all!

Modify your server.xml jboss configuration file like this for the http connector:

<Connector port="8080" address="${jboss.bind.address}"
         maxThreads="250" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" useBodyEncodingForURI="true"  URIEncoding="UTF-8"

The important part is

useBodyEncodingForURI="true"  URIEncoding="UTF-8"
