It isn't a bug...
If you set a variable with an empty string, why would you expect the
variable to contain something else when you do getParameter????
FYI
For null values, setProperty is not called according to the specs.

Subject: Problem with setting an empty String in JSP
JSP is not setting the value if the param of String type is an empty
String. Here is an example:
<jsp:useBean id="sar" class="Sar" scope="page">
<jsp:setProperty name="sar" property="termReason" param="termReason" />
</jsp:useBean>
I checked it with request.getParameter("termReason") and it returns an
empty string. If I set any string with length > 0, the setProperty works
fine.
Is this working according to the JSP spec or is this a bug in Tomcat?
I'm using Apache 1.3.11 and Tomcat 3.1, running on Redhat.
Thanks,
Gopi
