Re: null handling when a null is really needed

[Jacco van Weert]

Hello Mark,

If your properties aren't mandatory you could write a method like;

 public Value getMyProperty( String pName ) {
   if (hasProperty( pName )) {
     return getProperty( pName );
   } else {

 }

Hi,

I know that the JCR spec specifies that setting a property to null will
result in the removal of a property, but we have a situation where this is
problematic. We actually NEED properties that have no values to be stored.
I
could manually insert some dummy value for each of the different types,
but
if anyone knows of a better way I would really appreciate a suggestion.

Thanks,

Mark
