Description Hans Bergsten 2002-03-21 04:28:09 UTC 
The spec says "If value is null or empty, the scoped variable defined by var
and scope is removed" but a null value results in an exception instead:

javax.servlet.jsp.JspTagException: Unparseable number: ""
	at
org.apache.taglibs.standard.tag.common.fmt.ParseNumberSupport.doEndTag(ParseNumberSupport.java:173)

for parseNumber and a similar exception for parseDate.
