[regression] getValues produces error: args.item is undefined

[Simon Speich]

In dojo 1.4.3 ServiceStore?.getValues(item, property) returned an empty array if item was not loaded yet, e.g.:

var val = this.getValue(item,property);
return val instanceof Array ? val : val === undefined ? [] : [val];

but now getValues() fails with the error args.item is undefined since it tries to load the item e.g.:

var val = this.getValue(item,property);
if(val instanceof Array){
	return val;
}
if(!this.isItemLoaded(val)){
	dojox.rpc._sync = true;
	val = this.loadItem({item:val});
}
return val instanceof Array ? val : val === undefined ? [] : [val];

but {item:val} is undefined since val === undefined and so loadItem(args) fails, e.g.:

var item;
if(args.item._loadObject){
	...
});
}else if(args.onItem){
	...
}
return item;

Note: 1.5.0.rc2 was not in list yet

Change line 220 in ServiceStore?.js to:

if(args.item && args.item._loadObject){}

would fix the problem.

Same problem when "val === null".

Trying todo a getvalues on a field which is null (returned by server)
