[jira] Updated: (MYFACES-272) MyFaces unnecessary encodes all non-latin characters as numeric character references even if response character encoding is set to UTF-8

Kalle Korhonen updated MYFACES-272:
-----------------------------------

    Attachment: myfaces-272-conditionallyEncodeChars.patch

This is a slightly modified version of the previous patch, built against MyFaces head on 09/01/05. Sean, I've tested with simple examples and I didn't see the double output you reported about (neither this or the previous patch should cause anything like that). Once again, it's tested with ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 encodings set and 7 & 8-bit (in Latin-X character sets) and multibyte characters with verified results. Could it have been caused by something else (for example, I see double output regularly when reloading a modified page the first time when a previous component tree exists)? We'll continue to do our own testing and I report the results here, but I wanted to get the patch out for others to try it out first.

A tip for people trying it out, to properly set UTF-8, you need to use an encoding filter.

> Encoding all non-latin characters is unnecessary if the response specifies UTF-8 as character encoding and causes a major performance hit. Will provide a patch to do this only when UTF-8 is not used as encoding.

Why?  This shouldn't be necessary, since a JSF implementation should
restore the character encoding during Restore View.  (I think this is
in the spec, though I'm being lazy right now and not checking...)
