context.getControlPropertySet() should return null for non-existent annotation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: BEEHIVE-179
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-179
     Project: Beehive
        Type: Bug
  Components: Controls  
    Versions: V1Beta    
 Environment: Windows
    Reporter: Lawrence Jones
    Priority: Critical


I call

ServiceControl.TypesJarName typesJarNameAnn =
                (ServiceControl.TypesJarName)context.
                    getControlPropertySet(ServiceControl.TypesJarName.class);

in the Impl of my control (ServiceControl). TypesJarName is a valid annotation 
which is defined in the public interface  but not used in either the public 
interface nor in the JCX.

I expected to receive null but instead I get a non-null object with defaulted 
values for its members.

This is at odds with the javadoc for the API 
ControlBeanContext.getControlPropertySet() and in any case you need a way to be 
able to tell whether an annotation is present or not (especially if you have 
marker annotations).
