I looked through some example uses of FlexibleStringExpander and there is a lot of inconsistency. Some client code expects getOriginal() to always return a String - it doesn't check for null. Other code checks for null.

The whole point of the null instance was to eliminate all of the checking for this or that. Just use it as if it contains something. If it's empty it will do nothing.

Okay, I found the problem and committed a fix. We really need to go through the 
framework and fix the code that uses FlexibleStringExpander in inappropriate 
ways.

FlexibleStringExpander.getInstance will ALWAYS return an instance, so there is 
no need to check if an instance is equal to null.

Checking FlexibleStringExpander.getOriginal() for null or empty is bad coding 
style. There is an isEmpty() method for that.

After taking an update today, a lot of form widget field labels seem to be 
missing from various screens.  If any committers are aware of any changes they 
may have made which could have impacted this please take a look and see if it's 
related to your work.

Here's an example: 
https://localhost:8443/catalog/control/FindProductConfigItems (only one of the 
3 search option fields are presenting a field label)
Here's another: https://localhost:8443/accounting/control/findPayments

Thanks
