is empty string ("") a valid input for null values for Load Operations using Web Service API

Hi,
  For Load Operations using the Web Service API, is the value "" (empty string) a valid input to be stored as null value in Salesforce.
I have a java program that uses the Web Service API, version22 and in my code I do compare with value as null "if (value == null). This seems to be fine, but a Customer of ours complained that empty string ("") does not get stored as null, but ignores the value
 We need to understand that an input value "" (empty string), is it a valid value to be stored as null in Salesforce

Regds,
Deepak
