HttpServletRequest.getParameter encoding

[Leon Torres-2]

Hey folks, recently I found a bug where inputting unicode would break some
servlet code that uses HttpServletRequest.getParameter() directly.

The fix was as follows,

accountName = new
String(request.getParameter("accountName").getBytes("iso-8859-1"), "UTF-8");

I was wondering if there was some OFBiz way of doing this, perhaps in UtilHttp,
that doesn't have the overhead of scanning and transforming all the parameter
values.  Anyone know?
