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.

Hello all,
I had several times problems with inputText Components which are having
Strings as input.
If there is nothing typed in, the BackingBean get an EMPTY_STRING (""),
but I would expect
null there? Is this the common behaviour?
For Workaround, I created my own converter adding for every control. Is
there a way to define
it for all String-Controls by default on the orther hand?
Regards,
