GeoServerRESTPublisher::appendParameters - ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

[makosteel]

You can get unhandled ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException if a single parameter is passed that is empty string, this line is the cause.

Normally the code higher in the stack filters out null passed but not empties leading to this edge case, I suggest fixing this function for speed of resolution and maybe examine the higher code later, identified lines so far :

• Line L846
• Line 1573-1574
• Line 1769-1770

a better approach maybe to filter out the empty strings at the top method level, for example.

but i'm unsure how many functions are affected by this, all this so maybe a issue for later to go through.

I'm re-implementing the appendParameters function and submitting a pull request, will update this issue when submitted.

I will try and implement a test for also for this in another pull request.
