Patch - Better null handing in Filter  Literals
-----------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOT-1055
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-1055
             Project: GeoTools
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.2.0
         Environment: all
            Reporter: david blasby
         Attachments: handle_empty_strings_better.patch

Currently if you have a <Literal></Literal> or a <Literal>...one or more 
spaces...</Literal> in your Filter, the Literal gets replaced with a null.  
This causes all sorts of problems.

This patch changes the parser so that it will create a literal with an empty 
string instead of a NULL object.  

Currently you cannot create literals that are empty strings or just containing 
white space.

People who are using it to do null checks should be using a "<PropertyIsNull>" 
check, NOT converting perfectly good strings to nulls.
