JBOSS EAP German Umlaut Encoding broken

I am working on JBoss EAP 6.4.4.GA (AS 7.5.4.Final-redhat-4) with JSF 2.1 and primefaces 5.3.8.

Since the deployment of the lates version of my application there has been a problem with umlaut encoding in my forms.

Entering german umlauts in inputText field:
enter image description here

After submitting the form:
enter image description here

        <p:inputText widgetVar="vornameVar" id="vornameInput"   value="#{empfaengerBean.vorname}">
        </p:inputText>

My first thought was, that there is an error in the new version. But unfortunately I found none. Furthermore, if I revert to the older version (which previously worked well) the error suddenly occured as well.

I tried to resolve the problem as described in JSF Form and German Umlauts without success.

I added file encoding system properties:

file.encoding = UTF-8
file.encoding.pkg = sun.io
sun.jnu.encoding = UTF-8
sun.io.unicode.encoding = UnicodeLittle

And the charset in the xhtml form.

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

And I added a CharachterEncodingFilter:

<filter>
    <filter-name>encodingFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.CharacterEncodingFilter</filter-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>encoding</param-name>
        <param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>forceEncoding</param-name>
        <param-value>true</param-value>
    </init-param>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>encodingFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

Unfortunately it did not reslove the error.

I Just found the reason for the broken encoding. For debugging reasons I added a RequestDumperValve to log HTTP request headers in my JBoss config.

    <valve name="RequestLogging" module="org.jboss.as.web" class-name="org.apache.catalina.valves.RequestDumperValve"/>

But, as described by https://rolfje.wordpress.com/2008/07/20/tomcat-utf-8-and-the-requestdumpervalve/, the RequestDumperValve does not only dump the request but also messes up the parsing of other-than-ISO-8859-1 incoming parameters.
