Brian Foster commented on OODT-149:
-----------------------------------
null is the default initialization value for a String in Java
(http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/datatypes.html) .
. . this makes it is clear at any point in the code that the JobId has not been
set yet . . . also the default value for JobId in Job class is null . . . if
the Resource Manager code where to ever be wrapped and not use the XML-RPC
service, then code would throw null pointer exceptions since all the code would
be assuming JobId to be "" and never be null . . . the only code enforcing
JobId equals "" when not set is in the XML-RPC serialization utils.
> XmlRpcStructFactory when creating XmlRpc Job converts a Job's JobId to empty
> String but doesn't convert it back to null

> either:
> 1) change it such that when XML-RPC Job is converted back to a Job, its JobId
> is set to null if it is empty string
> 2) if null, set JobId to String "null", then convert back to null if JobId is
> "null"
