Absolutely! Actually I have a StringUtils class with a method that I often use:
public String safeString( String str )
{
if( str == null )
return "";
else
return str;
}

Like Dave, I'm not sure I can see converting "" to null as a highly common
thing to do. In fact, I'd expect people to want the reverse more often
[which I suspect Dave might like}, convert any null passed in into "".
