UTF-8 Problem with PF 2.2.1

[MISS_DUKE]

Unable to set request character encoding to UTF-8 from context /myproject, because request parameters have already been read, or ServletRequest.getReader() has already been called

The above message appears in my server logs very often after I upgraded to PF 2.2.1.

When webpages requested by clients, blank pages are returned by the server (I hope this is due the above mentioned character encoding issue) and refreshing (sometimes more than once) required to get the intended pages.

If anyone else face the same issue, please share your experience.

This post can help you. I think you need an encoding filter.

MISS_DUKE,
I used to get these messages aplenty in my log. I removed the line
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

from individual facelets and used it only in the template that I am using. Then these errors stopped.

Also as Oleg mentioned I used a filter to force UTF-8 encoding.

Check out the project - WebUtilities - http://code.google.com/p/webutilities/ that has a filter that does that. It also has other goodies for compression, minify etc that you were inquiring in the past about.

I get the following error message when I use a filter to set UTF-8
