Ok if this is true then how has the corresponding parameter of that matching
empty string in the form been initialized? After posting a form of course.
My thing is that after I post a form, request.getParameter() does not return
a null value like it did BEFORE I posted the form. This means that my Bean is
being passed a "" String, thereby initializing the Bean property.
Anyone know why this is?
