Description

h:inputTextarea always calls ResponseWriter.writeText(...), but in some cases where there is a null-value + a config param set javax.faces.INTERPRET_EMPTY_STRING_SUBMITTED_VALUES_AS_NULL true it throws NullPointerException

The renderer should do a null check before the call to avoid the situation.
