JBID_IO_ATTR:

ATTRIBUTE_ID	423
IDENTITY_OBJECT_ID	413
NAME	user.language
ATTRIBUTE_TYPE	text
BIN_VALUE_ID	NULL


How reproducible: 100 %

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change gatein-idm and gatein-jcr to use OracleDB.
2. Start EPP
3. Login as root
4. Create a user
5. Delete the user

Actual results:

Cannot delete the user. 

Expected results:
The user is deleted.

Additional info:
Some user attributes are deleted, so this process is not transactional.

Marek Posolda <mposolda> made a comment on jira GTNPORTAL-3341

The issue is caused by the fact that Oracle doesn't know empty strings and it treats them as null.
I added the fix on GateIn side. The fix will always use value null for value of UserProfile attribute if it's empty string. It's quite dirty fix IMO, but it works for all scenarios I tested (The empty string is used in GateIn just for attribute "user.language" of UserProfile as this attribute is in UI represented by comboBox. Other UserProfile attributes represented by text-fields are already send to UserProfileHandler with value null if they are empty).
