The problem here is that a HTML form ALWAYS submits parameters as empty strings, you cannot 'not' send a parameter in.

In WW1.3 and 1.4 a string parameter that is empty will set the string property to the empty string. Not null. If your program choose to interpret this as null that is up to you. How can you otherwise see the difference between a parameter that is not sent in at all and one that is sent in but is empty?
