[xwiki-users] Tomcat error 500 for pages with " in title

Hi everybody, we migrated our XWiki from Windows Server (Tomcat 7, XWiki 6) to Ubuntu Server 14.10 (Tomcat 8, XWiki 7) installed via the apt repository. All issues up to now could be solved but I stumbled upon one remaining issue. Opening Pages with " in the title/link lead to a tomcat 500 page. On the Windows instance the pages work. Could anybody help me to fix this? Thanks in advance. Example: Page: Kunden Appstore "iPad Apps" Link: http://10.80.75.216/xwiki/wiki/kunden/view/Some+%26+Space/Kunden+Appstore+%… Exception: HTTP Status 500 - com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number
