> javadoc of 
> ObjectContentManager
> public Object getObjectByUuid(String uuid)
> sais that the method will return the object found or null. 
> So I expected null as return value when no object with the provided id can be found.
> This behavior fits the behavior of other methods, such as getObject(String path).
> Instead I receive a RuntimeException with a wrapped ItemNotFoundException. 
> By looking at the implementation in ObjectContentManagerImpl 
>  public Object getObjectByUuid(String uuid) {
>         try {
>             Node node = session.getNodeByUUID(uuid);
>             Object object = objectConverter.getObject(session, node.getPath());
>             requestObjectCache.clear();
>             return object;
>         } catch (RepositoryException e) {
>             throw new org.apache.jackrabbit.ocm.exception.RepositoryException("Impossible to get the object with uuid : " + uuid, e);
>         }
>     }
> it becomes clear that the ItemNotFoundException is not caught individually. Btw: javadoc on this methods is in sync with the code.
> I suggest either returning null or making the javadoc more precise on method ObjectContentManager  getObjectByUuid(String uuid)
> best regards
