ObservedComponentFactory.newInstance() should return a null-object when the 
observed path doesn't exist yet and a default implementation can not be 
determined

                 Key: MAGNOLIA-3125
                 URL: http://jira.magnolia-cms.com/browse/MAGNOLIA-3125
             Project: Magnolia
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: core
            Reporter: Grégory Joseph
            Assignee: Grégory Joseph
             Fix For: 4.3


Since MAGNOLIA-3011, {{ObservedComponentFactory.newInstance()}} can return a 
new instance of the request object even if the observed path does not exist 
yet, as long as it's a concrete class. If the object is requested by interface, 
we could return a null-object implementation of the interface. ([Proxytoy's 
null object 
proxy|http://proxytoys.codehaus.org/apidocs/com/thoughtworks/proxy/toys/nullobject/package-summary.html])
 for example is such an implementation)

There's a currently failing/commented out test, see: 
{{info.magnolia.objectfactory.ObservedComponentFactoryTest#testReturnsANullProxyUntilPathExistsForNonConcreteTypes}}
