ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in HtmlResponsewriter (2.3.5.SP)

[mcbros]

Placing an EL expression that returns an empty String in a script element (and most certainly anywhere as CDATA) leads to an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException with index -2 in
jsf-ri/src/main/java/com/sun/faces/renderkit/html_basic/HtmlResponseWriter.java line 1499.
The case of an empty String is simply uncovered in the method.

From my perspective, this is a severe problem that should be handled with high priority.

We are using a component framework where it is common that composite component attributes are used as parameters for encapsulated JavaScript for added functionality. It is a common case that the default value of an optional attribute is empty. So there you now always end up with an Exception. To my mind there is no useful workaround.
