> (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).
