[Bese-devel] Probable UCW bug

[Vladimir Sekissov]

Good day,

jan> my objects end up with "" instead of NIL, as expected.

I couldn't represent such behaviour and got NIL in both cases.

If you want element to return "" instead of NIL set DEFAULT-VALUE slot
to "". Default behaviour is treating empty input as NIL.

You can also change INPUT-FILTER slot or COERCE-CLIENT-VALUE method to
satisfy your needs.
