[jdom-interest] Re: getText() returns null or ""

[Edoardo Comar]

I vote for returning ""

long live EMPTY_LIST, arrays with 0 size, EMPTY_STRING, and the like :-)
in my own code I make extensive use of NullObjects (a special instance of a
class).

I always regret later if sometimes I give semantics to the null pointer,
treating it as a value, because of the NPEs or the unnecessary complex
calling code.
