Carsten Ziegeler commented on FELIX-5404:
-----------------------------------------
Further reading the spec, section 112.8.2.2 states:
"If there is no corresponding component property for a component property type
method, the component
property type method must:
• Return 0 for numerical and char method types.
• Return false for boolean method type.
• Return null for String, Class, enum and array method types.
• Throw a ComponentException for annotation method types."
This means the behaviour before the patch was correct, I'll revert the patch
and check that we exactly follow above spec text
> Annotation configurations default values are not considered

> When an annotation is used to configure an SCR component (as per DS 1.3), the
> annotation's default values are not considered.
> This can lead to the odd situation that an annotation method with a default
> value returns null. I'm not sure if this violates a contract or another,
> however, my IDE complains when I do a null check.
> I think it would be the right thing to do to return the default value if no
> value is explicitly configured.
