database rows that contain NULL: "Column values that map to Java Object
types are returned as a Java null;"
Your implementation does not follow the JDBC specification, therefore it's
not possible to change the implementation easily.
Is there any way by which i could make the DBCP connection broker return an
empty string instead of a null so that i dont need to make changes in
numerous places in my application to handle the null pointer case ?
I strongly recommend you to follow the JDBC specification (better change
your implementation now than later). This will make it possible to
exchange the implementation as you like.
