Functions passed and trace only work when I explicitly defined the parameter type as IN.

Would you expect this line of code to work?
   if(str == null || str == "")
It doesn't like the test for null. This is valid in RBD. Is it valid in EDT?

package handlers;

handler MyHandler type RUIhandler {onConstructionFunction = start, cssFile="css/Alpha.css", title="MyHandler"}
	
	function start()
		SysLib.WriteStdOut("Hello from JavaScript Batch");
		passed("something");
	end	
	
	function passed(str String in)
		SysLib.WriteStdOut("inside passed");
		if( str == "" )
//		if(str == null || str == "")
			SysLib.WriteStdOut("Passed string is empty/null");
		else
			SysLib.WriteStdOut("Passed has contents");
		end
		if (str != "OK") 
			str = str + " OK";
		end
		SysLib.WriteStdOut(str);
		trace(str);
	end
	
	function trace(details string in)
		syslib.writeStdout(details);
	end
end
