Empty java strings marshalled as nil
Empty Java strings are erroneously marshalled as nil, causing errors
on the server side.
For example, the Java method
GbjObject perform(String message, Object args[], int numArgs)
will return an error from the Smalltalk server if any member of the
args[] array is an empty Java string:
"No method was found for the selector #asUppercase when sent to nil
with arguments contained in anArray( )."
Workaround
A patched gbj21.jar is available. Please contact GemStone Technical
Support if you would like to apply this patch.
