jsp:getProperty  tag prints "null" if property is null.

           Summary: jsp:getProperty  tag prints "null" if property is null.
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.16
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: Jasper
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: bsouther@fwdco.com


With versions prior to 5x a jsp:getProperty tag will print a zero length string
if the String (object) property being accessed is null.

With version 5x it prints "null".  

This will cause problems for developers moving applications from 4x to 5x.

I submitted a patch that fixes this to the Tomcat Developer list.
It is also available at the following URL:

Thank you,
Ben Souther
