[Bug 1162401] [NEW] tomcat7 doesn't decode + character to SPACE

[Chris]

Public bug reported:

Release: Ubuntu 11.10
Package: 7.0.21-1ubuntu0.1

Issue:  We've installed 7.0.21-1ubuntu0.1, and now the + character in paramer values in not decoded to SPACE.
If you alraedy have the plus character in the parameter value, then spaces are decoded correctly.

Expected Case 1:
Form sent via POST with a field value of "New York City".
Tomcat decodes it as "New York City"

User Case 1:
Form sent via POST with a field value of "New York City".
Tomcat decodes it as "New+York+City"

Expected Case 2:
Form sent via POST with a field value of "New+York City".
Tomcat decodes it as "New+York City"

User Case 2:
Form sent via POST with a field value of "New+York City".
Tomcat decodes it as "New+York City"
