Description

I just noticed that we have failures when we run against our public P8 CMIS server

(Ask Florian for url/creds/etc for our test server - he has them)

Here is what is happening. The class CMISScalars is a test class with a bunch of test properties to exercise property persistence.
CMISObject is a not-required prop of type ID.

When it is not set (as it is not usually set in our tests) is comes across in the XML responses like this:

<cmis:propertyId queryName="CMISObject" displayName="CMISObject" localName="CMISObject" propertyDefinitionId="CMISObject"/>

That is - empty, which is valid.

But the TCK test fails in several places when it encounters objects with this unset property with this message:

FAILURE: PWC check: idd_FA946B30-018C-42C2-AE69-E4EDACCB894F (AbstractCmisTest.java:125)
FAILURE: Property CMISObject (AbstractSessionTest.java:2847)
FAILURE: Property is not included in response! (AbstractSessionTest.java:2845)
INFO: Object is null!

AbstractSessionTest.checkProperty is getting called for this prop and it is dutifully returning a failure since its null. (at least that is what it looks like)
