Thanks Gunter for this. I'm forwarding it to the user list so that

 Subject: Re: Antw: XWiki: Testing for WIKI-1139
 Hi Vincent,
 Configuration:
 Just a very basic configuration. We just started a pilot project a
 few month ago.
 - MySQL DB on a Solaris server (copy of our Pilot/Production
 installation)
 - XWikiRC1 with your new jar on my development Windows PC pointing
 to this XWiki DB create for the old XWiki version.
 - Just a bare install run, I haven't even tweaked the skin,
 meaning, I am running with a skin (neither albatros nor dodo).
 Testsequence (Without your new jar):
 1. Create a normal page WebHome in a TestSpace
 2. Added a link [asdföäüasdf] in the page
 3. Followed the link from the page and created a child page: The
 name is shortened and changed to "asdf???"  -  First Bug
 4. Returning to the parent page: It still show the ? for "page not
 created". But following the link leads to the before created page
 in edit mode(!) - Second/Third Bug
 5. Calling GUI Rename to "asdfasdföäüasdfasdf" -> claims to be
 successful but clicking on the link from the Rename-successmessage
 leads to the requested document could not be found page (the
 document name suddenly contains again ???) - Fifth Bug  (That is
 now the opposite behavior of before: link claims ok, but page does
 not exist)
 6. Refilling the new page asdfasdföäüasdfasdf with content.
 7. Calling Rename velocity method (see the AdminTool script that I
 checked in in the CodeZone Snippet)
 8. This time the rename to "asdfasdföäüasdfasf1" is successful, but
 following the link again leads to an empty page. Somehow the real
 page is lost. - Sixth Bug
 9. Exported xar contains filenames with ? as well as a filename
 with really bad decoded Unicode characters.  - Seventh Bug
 With your new jar, I suddenly get a much better behavior! Maybe
 your changes were not picked up correctly.
 Rename still fails with Pages that have documents attached that
 contain special characters. Actually, rename fails on various
 issues with attachments in the page (e.g. No row with the given
 identifier exists) It does not seem to like old failed attachments
 with 0 bytes (these actually also cannot be deleted !)
 Also, I have now rerun the entire script on a totally newly created
 XWiki installation with internal DB directly from the install
 script, again with your jar.
 This time I get ok behavior for any new szenarios I try out:
 - everything is working and behaving correctly (links, rename, delete)
 - imported the xar from the old configuration: The importer simply
 ignores documents in the form: "Main.MaCi.Änderungsdienst". Don't
 know whether this is because the Ä or the stupid name (our users
 really screwed up the structure in the old XWiki).  - I would
 consider this also a bug. It should at least report that it could
 not import that page - and why.
 Now, I feel that pointing XWiki against an old Database might have
 caused this behavior and worse.
 Unfortunately, I cannot send you parts of the xar, since I don't
 want to ask for permissions to do that and explain everything  :)
 and the data is from some important project.
 I hope this helps nevertheless.
 Regards,
 Gunter

  Hi Vincent,
 I have just tried it, but with the same or similar exception. I have
 replaced the xwiki.jar and restartet. I would like to send you a log
 file, also to confirm that it is really picking up all your changes.
 Would you please send me a log4j.properties configured so you can see
 all the aspects that you need.
 Also, maybe it is relevant, but the pages got migrated from an old
 0.9.940 (?) installation. 
 Thanks for trying it. Let's try to debug this... I think we can
 follow 2 leads:
 1) In your patched version of RC1, can you try creating a new page
 with accents and then delete/rename it?
 2) I'd like to reproduce your problem. Could you give me more
 information about your setup (i18n setup, database and container) and
 possibly it would be nice if you could send me a XAR export of your
 wiki (not the whole thing, maybe only a few pages) so that I can try
 it here. Could you also let me know exactly the steps you're
 performing?
 Thanks
 -Vincent
 PS: I'm ccing the dev list so that others can join us in debuggin
