Wicket should set the character encoding on requests
----------------------------------------------------
Key: WICKET-3578
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-3578
Project: Wicket
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: wicket-core
Affects Versions: 1.5-RC3
Reporter: Attila Király
Browsers should but actually do not send encoding information with requests.
Because of this servlet containers (like Tomcat) use the default "ISO-8859-1"
encoding to decode POST parameters in non-multipart requests. This is wrong in
case the webapp is using a different encoding (like UTF-8).
To workaround this it is possible to specify the correct encoding on the server
side trough javax.servlet.ServletRequest.setCharacterEncoding(String). This can
be done in a filter (I use spring's CharacterEncodingFilter for this, but
Tomcat also has SetCharacterEncodingFilter for the same). It would be nice if
wicket could do this out of box so no additional filter would be needed.
