Accessing the parameter of a request leads to improper behaviour with special char codes like ä

[Ralf Baumhof <ra...@web.de>]

I just figured out the follwoing problem 


we are using myfaces in geronimo and because we come from 
Germany we use the charset utf-8 in our pages. All pages have the 
properties charset=utf-8 and pageEncoding="utf-8" in the @page 
directive.  We also have got a SecurityFilter which watches our pages, 
and i.e. forces the user to authenticate if he enters some protected 
pages. All works fine. Now i am testing some new features, and therefore
 accessed the request from the SecurityFitler with the statement:


String vid = request.getParameter("form:versteckteFormID");


This of course also works, but now on all pages of the 
application i can not enter german special signs like ü ä and so on. The
 problem only occurs on input strings, data that is saved in the 
database is displayed correct. Is there a reason for this behaviour, or 
is it a bug in faces implementation??


in advance, much thanks for your help!!

Hi Ralf,

Have you tried setting the enconding to utf-8 in the filter before accessing
the request parameter (request.setCharacterEncoding("utf-8");)?
