Sorry, I was talking about the BeanUtil part in WW 1.2 / 1.3. Something like
BeanUtil.setProperties(ActionContext.getContext().getParameters(), bean_to_set_properties); When working with a bean to reflect a row in a Database, it's wrong to set String values for bean propertties to "" when the user does not fill in values for them. If there's no value filled in by the user it has to be NULL in the database and not "". There should be no difference between an Integer (delivered as NULL when empty) field and a String field (String name = null is legal). WW 1.2 handled empty bean String properties as "" which is wrong. As far as I can remember this was changed in WW 1.3. I started with WW 1.2 and had to fix this myself (still using this version for production because WW 1.3 logging didn't work with WLS). I'm talking about beans only.
