Re: [jsr-314-open] Handling of "" vs null action outcomes

FWIW, my feeling is that, while returning null is a reasonable
workaround, there is no way that our unit test is not the only code
out there that is returning empty action outcomes and expecting to
stay on the same page. I would like to see this behavior preserved not
so that we can revert our unit test to its previous behavior (I am
fine with our fix), but because the current behavior may break other
users as they upgrade to JSF2.
Thoughts?
I know in the apps I've worked on whether I return an empty String or
null depends on the mood I'm in. :) I think we should clarify the spec
to preserve the 1.2 behavior.
