In your answer you are mixing this issue and issue 68293. Here I am only
dealing with
correct URL, which should have retrieved a file if it existed.
1 - "this change was requested from other users of OOo.
They wished to be informed in case an URL was wrong."
These unknown users apparently did not know that they could test the result
returned
by loadComponentFromURL : a null value evidently shows that the URL could not
be
retrieved.
If they wanted to know if the URL syntax was incorrect, then the current
design does
not distinguish this from file inexistence.
2 - This evolution is against the classical development rule: as far as
possible be
backward compatible. This could have been possible by setting a new option in
the
PropertyValue sequence (4th parameter).
3 - As explained in my report, IllegalArgumentException is not appropriate to a
syntactically correct URL which points to a non-existing file. This will lead
to a
misleading user message. A more specific exception (or more general if you
can't
distinguish syntax error from file existence) should have been raised.
I wish your decision be re-estimated by the development team.
