[aerogear-dev] Question about retrieving an AeroGearUser ?

[Sebastien Blanc]

What is really wrong with returning 'null' ?
I'm used to this situation when using Hibernate for example, when the user
don't exist then it just return null and it's up to the developer (as Lucas
said) to handle this situation ...
