Description

I put an object having a method that returns an array of Integers in the context
with contents
[100,100,NULL,NULL,...]
Then looping over the contents using
#foreach ($elt in $Object.List) $!elt #end

ALL entries become 100 with output:
100 100 100 100 (...)
instead of the expected
100 100

When converting all null objects to say new Integer(0) in the
getList() body before returning the list, output becomes
100 100 0 0 0 0 0

Apparently null values are not treated as first citizens,

Cheers,

Indra
