Description

javax.faces.component.UIInput.getConvertedValue converts empty String to null even when javax.faces.INTERPRET_EMPTY_STRING_SUBMITTED_VALUES_AS_NULL is set as false.

When I dug deeper I narrowed down the issue to the method org.apache.myfaces.shared_impl.renderkit.RendererUtils.getConvertedUISelectOneValue where if the submitted value is an empty string the submittedvalue is set to null. I also understand that this logic was put in place to solve the issue no. 1759 for version 1.2.2 but in JSF 2.0 the empty string to null conversion is handled globally using context parameter javax.faces.INTERPRET_EMPTY_STRING_SUBMITTED_VALUES_AS_NULL.
