HtmlResponseStateManager.getSavedState() should handle javax.faces.ViewState=""
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MYFACES-1975
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1975
             Project: MyFaces Core
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: General
    Affects Versions: 1.2.3
         Environment: Any
            Reporter: Curtiss Howard
            Priority: Minor


HtmlResponseStateManager.getSavedState() does not seem to handle the request 
attribute "javax.faces.ViewState" being an empty string.  That is to say, when 
the request attribute does not exist, a new state is created, but otherwise an 
attempt is made to reconstruct the view state.  In the case that the attribute 
is an empty string, you'll get an exception similar to the following:

javax.faces.FacesException: java.io.EOFException
        at 
org.apache.myfaces.shared_impl.util.StateUtils.getAsObject(StateUtils.java:350)
        at 
org.apache.myfaces.shared_impl.util.StateUtils.reconstruct(StateUtils.java:246)

org.apache.myfaces.renderkit.html.HtmlResponseStateManager.getSavedState(HtmlResponseStateManager.java:188)
        at 
org.apache.myfaces.renderkit.html.HtmlResponseStateManager.getTreeStructureToRestore(HtmlResponseStateManager.java:149)

This does not occur on the Sun RI implementation (i.e., it returns a new state 
in this case), and I think due to this being an issue that should be handled 
(and a trivial change to boot) that it should be fixed.
