--------------------------------------
Patch works, my existing tests pass, but I want to add a dedicated test for
this exact usecase in my unit tests!
So be patient, I will issue a merge request later today for 4 +

> Key: MYFACES-4638

> Project: MyFaces Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 4.0.0, 5.0.0
> Reporter: Andreas Osterburg

> When submitting input fields with AJAX the ampersand "&" character is not
> handled properly on client side.
> A test case ist attached. Just submitting the form works as expected,
> submitting by AJAX
> fails if input contains "&"-signs, like "foo&bar".
> It tracked this down to the function _decodeEncodedValues_ in
> {_}FileUtils.ts{_}. There happens a
> decode of the current ViewState in URI-encoded format.
> Basically the source of the issue is that the input string (in
> "{_}encoded"){_} is processed in wrong order.
> Currently it is first URI-decoded an then splitted by ampersands ("&"). It
> has to be in
> reverse order, since the payload may contain ampersands, which are
> URI-encoded by "%26".
> A small working patch for demonstration is attached.
