That parameter would be problematic as this is only valid for strings, all other types cannot have no value. I appreciate the backwards compatibility issue with the patch. How is this problematic? The parameter would just be ignored for non-string properties? bq. One solution would be to add a configuration switch to the post servlet where the current default behaviour can be changed to treat empty strings as empty strings. However, this would be a global switch. Or we could add a special request parameter like :deleteEmptyStringIfBlank=false which you could use on your requests? IMHO, applying this on the global or even request level is too coarse-grained. was (Author: justinedelson): bq.
