  xWiki works with UTF-8 Characters after some
modifications, live example is on 
 http://zh.objectweb.org

 There are some modifications to do in the code of xWiki, you need to configure 
 xWiki to manage UTF-8 and to use a database without non UTF-8 code. 
Whether use of non-English _names_ of documents is possible?
I have made all that is written in
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Dev/CharactersSets
But Russian names of documents displays incorrectly. On zh.objectweb.org 
too.

 From a code I have understood, it of that request.getPathInfo and
getParametr (for parameters in uri) are not decoded in utf.
It so, or I have incorrectly setup xwiki?
(or it is servlet api bug?)

I set SetCharacterEncodingFilter off by add ignore=false and rewrite
XWikiServletRequest.get, getPathInfo, getParameter to decode from
ISO-8859-1 tо UTF-8
Names now working fine, but i found next problem:
when i click on new,unedited link [newlink], open edit form. In this
form field "Parent" fills not decoded.
PrepareEditForm.setParent called 2 times, first call is decoded (from
PrepareEditForm.reset), second - not decoded (from beenutils).

Main questions:
1 That second PrepareEditForm.setParent call for?
2 Why it is not decoded?
3 How i may decode it?

Now i`m decode in setParent. This is bad idea, but works..

Soon i will open http://usunet.ru/wiki/ - Ural State University XWiki.

~Environment~:

Sun JDK 1.5.0.04, JAVAOPTS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8"
