null handling when a null is really needed

[Mark Waschkowski]

Hi,

I know that the JCR spec specifies that setting a property to null will
result in the removal of a property, but we have a situation where this is
problematic. We actually NEED properties that have no values to be stored. I
could manually insert some dummy value for each of the different types, but
if anyone knows of a better way I would really appreciate a suggestion.

Thanks,

Mark
