JcrResourceResolver2.resolve returns null for non-existing resources while api 
doc says otherwise

                 Key: SLING-909
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-909
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: JCR Resource
            Reporter: Alexander Klimetschek


(This is a basically a re-opening of SLING-752, because I don't have rights to 
reopen that bug).

In current trunk, although to be said to be fixed with SLING-752, the API doc 
of ResourceResolver.resolve(String) says:

     * @return The {...@link Resource} addressed by the <code>absPath</code> or 
a
     *         {...@link NonExistingResource} if no such resource can be 
resolved.

The implementation of this method in JcrResourceResolver2 however will return 
null (it calls resolveInternal() with requireResource=false).

I have a use case where I don't have a request object (running in an event job) 
but still like to get a NonExistingResource, not null. Therefore I'd suggest to 
change JcrResourceResolver2.resolve() to not return null (and keep the javadoc).
