[jira] [Commented] (GUACAMOLE-320) Text attributes may erroneously be set as blank

["Michael Jumper (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-320?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16065639#comment-16065639 ] 

Michael Jumper commented on GUACAMOLE-320:
------------------------------------------

This will affect the new user profile attributes as well. Though the effect is not as horrible (it won't cause connections to fail), it will result in non-NULL values being stored in the database where the schema dictates the proper value is NULL.

> The recently-added text attributes for connections and users can be accidentally set to a blank value (rather than null) if the value is edited and then deleted. This is particularly problematic for the new guacd hostname attribute for connections, which causes connections to fail if set to a blank value:
> {code:none}
> [http-bio-8080-exec-9] DEBUG o.a.g.net.InetGuacamoleSocket - Connecting to guacd at :4822.
> {code}
> For fields which internally use {{null}} to represent a blank value, blank values provided by the interface should be properly translated back to {{null}}, including {{""}}.
