[jira] [Commented] (SLING-2534) Strings of zero length on update in post servlet delete the property

["Carsten Ziegeler (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2534?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13432982#comment-13432982 ] 

Carsten Ziegeler commented on SLING-2534:
-----------------------------------------

Actually, it seems this is a bug in the Sling POST servlet, according to

http://sling.apache.org/site/manipulating-content-the-slingpostservlet-servletspost.html

an empty value should be set, unless @IgnoreBlanks is specified.

> According to JCR specs, for string type properties, a blank string should be a valid value. Currently the post servlet delets any property where 1 or less values are specifed and the 1 value has a 0 length. I think string properties with a zero length should be blanked instead of deleted.
