Mike Baliel commented on STS-460:
---------------------------------
Stripes is great, but i'm having the exact same issue as described by Tim Burt.
There is certainly a work around for this so it is not a major issue, but
IMHO, empty Strings should be treated as "Empty Strings".
> Empty form text fields give null String values
> ----------------------------------------------

> Key: STS-460
> URL: http://www.stripesframework.org/jira/browse/STS-460
> Project: Stripes
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ActionBean Dispatching
> Affects Versions: Release 1.4.3
> Environment: Windows/Linux, Tomcat 5.5.25
> Reporter: Phil Sladen
> Assignee: Tim Fennell
>
> I can understand that empty form fields give rise to empty objects when there
> is a converter involved and invalid input, but it seems a bit OTT to also
> treat Strings the same way. Although String is not a native type, it is
> treated as such in some respects in the language, and I think Stripes should
> do the same by default. Otherwise, code is going to be littered with checks
> for null or be forced to use something like StringUtils. I would however
> expect the String to be left unaltered, and possibly null, if the
> corresponding parameter is not provided in the request. I could then choose
> whether such extra checks are warranted for Strings as well as other objects.
> Instead, I found the most convenient way around the issue was to provide my
> own PropertyBinder:
> public class MyPropertyBinder extends DefaultActionBeanPropertyBinder {
> protected void bindNullValue(ActionBean bean, String property, Class
> type)
> throws ExpressionException {
> if (type == String.class) {
> BeanUtil.setPropertyValue(property, bean, new
> String());
> }
> else {
> super.bindNullValue(bean, property, type);
> }
> }
> }
> All credit due to Stripes extensibility, but I don't think I should have to
> do this.
