You could add a check for the value to set in each modifier, something like
this:
public void setName(String newName) {
if ( !"".equasl(newName) ) {
name = newName;
}
}
Still quite cumbersome...

Subject: Re: StringConversion to EMPTY_STRING
The JSF spec says that components will return the empty string, not
null.
There is no way to specify a converter-by-type for String in JSF 1.1.
You can specify String converters for JSF 1.2.
