This relates to camel-bindy Currently, there does not appear to be a way to specify that a String field should have an empty-string by default. The default must either be a non-empty sting or a null. However, one can specify a null as a default by simply not specifying a defaultValue. So if a default value is explicitly specified to be an empty string @DataField(defaultValue="") for a string field, it seems right to assume the programmer wanted an empty string, rather than a null. I guess my question is whether the returning of a null is by conscious design, or if this is something that is open to change. I know that 2.18 allows a custom BindyConverter that can achieve this. That will work, but seems a bit heavy-handed. My first post here. Thanks.
