Patrick crossed issues with Entity sync and null values and needed to address
them. I trust his work.
Why does "it looks like an ugly hack" to you, a feeling, or? Do you expect some surprises with this work? How would you address the
problem of null values, then ?

I don't like this commit - it looks like an ugly hack to me. What is the end
result supposed to be? Or what is this supposed to do?

Log:
A modified patch from Patrick Antivackis "Null values are not synchronized in http mode"
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-4602
In order to send over http the values to create, store and remove, Ofbiz is Xml serializing the values. GenericValue xml
serialization is managed in GenericEntity.makeXmlElement, unfortunately this method just don't serialized null valued fields.
To solve this issue, I managed null value the same way GenericEntity.setString (which is used for the Xml deserializing). I only
managed until case 10, because i'm not sure the setString for the cases 11 to 15 are well managed (not taking care of null value)
jleroux: After looking at GenericEntity.setString and initial commit (http://svn.ofbiz.org/viewcvs?rev=7779&view=rev) I see no
reasons to not handling cases under 10 the same way. So I added these cases as well using fall through.
