-------------------------------------
Summary: Allow PostConstruct method to return false to indicate
that a model object should not be returned
Key: SLING-7124
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-7124
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Extensions
Reporter: Justin Edelson
In cases where a model objects (as opposed to the adaptable Resources) need to
be validated programmatically, the options at present are to have the
PostConstruct method throw an Exception or to have a special method which
clients use to determine if the object is valid. The former adds unnecessary
noise to the log files and the latter puts undue complexity on clients.
It should be possible to return {{false}} from the PostConstruct method and for
this to be considered a signal for a null value to be returned from the
adaptTo() method (without extra logging). For the createModel() cases, we can't
return null and have to throw an exception.
