Strictly, yes. Practically, it makes no difference because the filters 
that are applied do find and replacement with ASCII strings and are 
highly unlikely to ever be anything other than ASCII.

I'll get that updated.

Start Tomcat with:
catalina jpda run
(or start but I typically use run as I nearly always want to see what is 
logged to the console)

In Eclipse go to Debug > Debug Configurations > Remote Java Application

Tomcat's default jpda config matches Eclipse's so so should then have a 
remote debug session set up with your Tomcat instance.
