Handle empty string pattern in NumberConverter
----------------------------------------------

                 Key: TRINIDAD-1963
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRINIDAD-1963
             Project: MyFaces Trinidad
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Components
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0.3-core
         Environment: environment independent
            Reporter: Jing Wu


"pattern" attribute of convertNumber component is defined of type String, thus 
if this attribute is bound to an EL expression, the value will be evaluated to 
an empty string if no value is obtained from that expression. Example: (here 
format property of Empno in bindings is not defined, thus null, the the whole 
expression is evaluated to be an empty string because the type is String)

    <af:inputText value="#{bindings.Empno.inputValue}" 
label="#{bindings.Empno.hints.label}"
                  required="#{bindings.Empno.hints.mandatory}"
                  columns="#{bindings.Empno.hints.displayWidth}"
                  maximumLength="#{bindings.Empno.hints.precision}"
                  shortDesc="#{bindings.Empno.hints.tooltip}" id="it4">
      <f:validator binding="#{bindings.Empno.validator}"/>
      <af:attributeDragSource attribute="value"/>
      <af:convertNumber groupingUsed="false" 
pattern="#{bindings.Empno.format}"/>
    </af:inputText>

Empty string of pattern causes all sorts of undesired behavior, we need to 
override getPattern() method on NumberConverter so that empty string is treated 
as null.
