Description

1. The following problem is only in Tapestry-5.0.2:
I input chinese words into a form in Login page, and then turn to Start page. Start page can't display chinese.
For example, I input chinese "中国" in Login page, and I just see "中国" in Start page.
It looks like the data of form is encoded in ascii, not in UTF-8.
The problem still exists even I change the app locale to "zh".
2.The following problems are both in Tapestry-5.0.1 and Tapestry-5.0.2:
(1) When the content of HTML template has non english words, such as chinese, the page can't display the words correctly.
We can only see "?" in the page, but english content is ok.
(2) When the page class returns a chinese string directly, we can only see "?" in the page at runtime.
For example:
In Start.html: ${hello}
In Start.java: public String getHello()

{return "中国( some chinese words)!";}

The start page will display "??( some chinese words)!" at runtime.
