Hello, I finally had some time to investigate this issue further and also to figure out the problem. The encoding issue is being caused by the Tobgao FileUpload (tc:file) component:
Here is the XHTML page structure: main.xhtml: <ui:composition xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" xmlns:tc="http://myfaces.apache.org/tobago/component" xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <f:view locale="#{facesContext.viewRoot.locale}" encoding="UTF-8"> <tc:page id="page"> <tc:flexLayout columns="270px;*" id="mainframe"> <tc:flexLayout rows="auto;*"> <tc:box id="content"> <ui:insert/> </tc:box> </tc:flexLayout> </tc:flexLayout> </tc:page> </f:view> </ui:composition> encodingtest.xhtml: <ui:composition template="/pages/tobago/main.xhtml" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" xmlns:tc="http://myfaces.apache.org/tobago/component" xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <ui:param name="controller" value="#{encodingTestBean}" /> <tc:section label="SECTION"> <tc:file label="TEST" value="#{controller.file}" /> <tc:textarea label="TEXT" value="#{controller.text}" rows="5"> <f:validateLength minimum="1" maximum="254" /> </tc:textarea> </tc:section> <tc:flexLayout> <tc:panel> <tc:button image="fa-floppy-o" action="#{controller.save}" label="SAVE" /> <tc:button image="fa-floppy-o" action="#{controller.upload}" label="UPLOAD" /> </tc:panel> </tc:flexLayout> </ui:composition> Bean: @ManagedBean @RequestScoped public class EncodingTestBean { private String text; private transient Part file; public String save() { for (Entry<String, String> entry : FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext() .getRequestParameterMap().entrySet()) { System.out.println(entry.getKey() + ": " + entry.getValue()); } return null; } public void upload() { // foo bar } public String getText() { return text; } public void setText(String text) { this.text = text; } public Part getFile() { return file; } public void setFile(Part file) { this.file = file; } } If I visit encodingtest.xhtml and enter some text into the text area like: "üöüäüöüüä", the text gets changed to something like: "äüäüüüäü". If you remove the tc:file component, everything works fine. Thank you for your help. Kind regards, Marko -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Voß, Marko <marko.v...@cgi.com> Gesendet: Montag, 28.

I've a running example with WAS 8.5.5.13, this might help you to find the error. Here's what I've tested: Starting WAS 8.5.5.13 via Docker (see https://hub.docker.com/r/ibmcom/websphere-traditional/) $ echo "test1234">PASSWORD $ docker run --name test -h test -v $(pwd)/PASSWORD:/tmp/PASSWORD -p 9043:9043 -p 9443:9443 -d ibmcom/websphere-traditional:8.5.5.13-profile Browse to https://localhost:9043/ibm/console/ and use wsadmin/test1234 to login. Checkout my example (slightly modified Tobago 3.0.7-SNAPSHOT demo): $ git clone https://github.com/lofwyr14/myfaces-tobago.git test $ cd test $ git checkout test-websphere-umlauts $ mvn Deploy tobago-example/tobago-example-demo/target/tobago-example-demo.war into WAS e.g. on context path /demo Check these URLs (different switchType): https://localhost:9443/demo/faces/content/20-component/070-tab/00-client/tab-client.xhtml https://localhost:9443/demo/faces/content/20-component/070-tab/01-ajax/tab-ajax.xhtml https://localhost:9443/demo/faces/content/20-component/070-tab/02-server/tab-server.xhtml If this is running for you, you may test to deploy the tobago-example-demo.war in your 8.0 WAS. Or you may test to deploy your application into the docker 8.5 WAS.
