> When doing a REST call for finding values and expecting a collection of objects back there is an inconsistency with Causeway (2.x) vs Isis (1.x).
> When querying for a value that returns an empty list:
> For 1.x the result is an empty collection.
> For 2.x the result is a http 404 error.
> It's a matter of what to return for an empty collection versus an empty object.
> The functionality for this is located at:
> ContentNegotiationServiceXRoDomainType#buildResponse
>  
> Possible solutions may be:
>  * Don't change anything, the REST client should handle this
>  * Add logic that checks the return type and returns an empty collection in the ContentNegotiationServiceXRoDomainType#buildResponse method
>  * Add logic that checks and returns an empty collection in the 
> _ManagedObjectEmpty#getPojo method
>  * Create a _ManagedCollectionEmpty or
> _ManagedListEmpty object for wrapping the return value of an empty Collection
>  * None of the above
