Sniffy filter setup together with encoding filter?

Question

I'm trying to add Sniffy profiler into JSF project.

According to the documentation web.xml needs to be updated with following filter:

<filter>
    <filter-name>sniffer</filter-name>
    <filter-class>io.sniffy.servlet.SnifferFilter</filter-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>inject-html</param-name>
        <param-value>true</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>enabled</param-name>
        <param-value>true</param-value>
    </init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>sniffer</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

But web.xml already contains one filter:

<filter>
    <filter-name>Character Encoding Filter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.primefaces.titan.filter.CharacterEncodingFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>Character Encoding Filter</filter-name>
    <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
</filter-mapping>    
<servlet>
    <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

When sniffer filter is added (and works correctly) Character Encoding Filter stops working (characters are garbled).

How should web.xml looks like to have both filters working?

Sniffy developer here. It is a bug in Sniffy - I plan to fix it in upcoming 3.1 release.

As a workaround you can add following to your JVM arguments:

-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
