Error description
If an optional property on a Java user define node is promoted to the subflow/flow level, and no value is provided for the property, then the setXXX(String) method on the node for the promoted property will be called with the value "NULL" or "NULL[undefined]" depending on fix pack. At v10 and earlier this method would not be called during the initial deploy, and then would subsequently be called with an empty string on each restart of the flow. This APAR changes the behaviour so that the empty string will be provided to the setXXX(String) method rather than "NULL" or "NULL[undefined]".
Local fix
Change the UDN to handle being given a value of "NULL" or "NULL[undefined]" correctly.

With IBM Integration Bus v10 and earlier this method would not be called during the initial deploy, and then would subsequently be called with an empty string on each restart of the flow.
