> Currently {{NonExistingResource.getParent()}} returns {{null}} in case the parent does not exist either. According to the javadoc of {{Resource.getParent()}}  {{null}} should only be returned when the current resource is already the root resource. 
> Therefore {{NonExistingResource.getParent()}} should rather return a {{NonExistingResource}} as well, in case the parent does not exist.
