html:option tag with an empty body content

           Summary: html:option tag with an empty body content
           Product: Struts
           Version: 1.1 Beta 3
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Custom Tags
        AssignedTo: struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: tkv@landacorp.com


The html:option tag attempts to lookup a message in the message resource bundle
when the body content is empty. This results in an exception being thrown. We do
this in places where the selection list is tied to an optional field...

Notice the first html:option entry.

<html:select property="currentAddress.phone2Type">
  <html:option value=""></html:option>
  <logic:iterate id="type" name="addressChange" property="phoneTypes"
type="AddressChangeForm.PhoneType">
    <html:option  value="<%=
      ((AddressChangeForm.PhoneType)type).getCode()%>"><bean:write name="type"
        property="description"/>
    </html:option>
  </logic:iterate>
</html:select>


We can fix this problem by doing this instead...

  <html:option value="">&nbsp;</html:option>

But it still probably should be valid to have an empty string here.
