Drools/Guvnor supports any UTF-8 character as part of rule name, but when using WebDAV access, the multibyte characters in the URL are decoded as ISO-8859-1 by default. It will end up with 404.

You can work around it by adding URIEncoding attribute in Connector settings in server.xml.

{noformat}
      <Connector protocol="HTTP/1.1" port="8080" address="${jboss.bind.address}" 
               connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" URIEncoding="UTF-8" />
{noformat}

It would be nice to have the settings in brms-standalone EWP out-of-the-box.

Comment 2 Toshiya Kobayashi 2011-06-08 09:17:56 UTC 
I raised BRMS-601 for documentation. Hmm, I'm a bit unsure if I should have combine them into one JIRA :(
Comment 3 Rick Wagner 2011-08-25 19:22:52 UTC 
GSS prioritizes 'low'.  Customer isn't stuck, workaround is documented.

Toshiya,

please continue to open separate documentation bugs whenever necessary :)

Thanks
Lee
Comment 5 Zuzana Krejčová 2012-07-09 10:47:27 UTC 
Could we add the attribute to Connector elements in the server.xml by default? It seems better to do it. 
If not, could we close this bug, as it's been documented already?
Comment 6 lcarlon 2012-07-13 06:15:51 UTC 
It is documented in the User Guide.

Comment 8 manstis 2012-08-29 12:27:24 UTC 
Nothing for dev to do on this one :)
Comment 9 Prakash Aradhya 2012-08-30 15:09:34 UTC 
Looks like the issue still persists in EAP.. Productization team would own this
Comment 11 Julian Coleman 2012-09-03 16:20:35 UTC 
Resolved with revision 11414 of:

  brms-p/src/main/patches/eap/patch_add_uriencoding.xml

Commit message:

  BZ-724764
  Add URIEncoding to server/${config}/deploy/jbossweb.sar/server.xml.
Comment 12 Zuzana Krejčová 2012-09-13 12:27:23 UTC 
The setting is there in both default and production profiles.
Comment 13 lcarlon 2012-09-13 21:47:20 UTC 
Docs note: I've added a note to the user guide stating that manually adding support is only required in versions 5.3 and below. The note will show up the next time we restage the doc.
