Howard M. Lewis Ship commented on TAPESTRY-2056:
------------------------------------------------

Part of this fix is to back out some changes that coerced nulls to various 
flavors of zero.

This introduces a new parameter, nulls, to TextField (and PasswordField and 
TextArea).  The default is to leave nulls alone.  It can be set to "zero" to 
substitute zero for the value instead.

> Add configurable null handling for text fields

> Currently, the handling of null values (on the server) and blank values (from 
> the client) is a bit of a mess.  Particularily with numeric fields, nulls 
> might mean a blank space, or they might be treated as zero and formatted 
> accordingly. Making this another configurable parameter with smart defaults 
> (ala translate and validate) would be a huge improvement over the current 
> approach (extra coercions from null to various types).
