Description

JAXRS calls UrlUtils.urlDecode(value);

which has hardcoded UTF-8 as encoding:

public static String urlDecode(String value) {
try

{ value = URLDecoder.decode(value, "UTF-8"); }

catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e)

{ LOG.warning("UTF-8 encoding can not be used to decode " + value); }

return value;
}

I've provided the stack trace so that you can see which path it went through:
