HttpServletRequest.getParameter encoding

[Leon Torres]

Hey folks, recently I found a bug where inputting unicode would break some 
servlet code that uses HttpServletRequest.getParameter() directly.

The fix was as follows,
accountName = new 
String(request.getParameter("accountName").getBytes("iso-8859-1"), "UTF-8");

I was wondering if there was some OFBiz way of doing this, perhaps in UtilHttp, 
that doesn't have the overhead of scanning and transforming all the parameter 
values.  Anyone know?
