Hi all, The StringUtils methods return a mix of null and "" for each method on null input. Each method does one of the following:
- null out for null in - "" out for null in - null for null and "" for "" - throw an NPE The newer class Strings does the same as it backs StringUtils. Should we: - leave it alone in 3.x - normalize output to "" for null input - normalize output to null for null input - something else - do something only in 4.0 - clean up only the Strings class (not released yet) Wdyt? TY, Gary
