[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (JBAS-6216) ManagementView.getComponentsForType(type) returns null, rather than an empty Set, if no Components of the specified type are deployed

ManagementView.getComponentsForType(type) returns null, rather than an empty Set, if no Components of the specified type are deployed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-6216 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-6216 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Sub-task Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: ProfileService Reporter: Ian Springer Assignee: Scott M Stark Priority: Minor Fix For: JBossAS-5.0.0.GA This is a public-facing API so should return an empty Set rather than null to make it less error-prone and easier to use. There are a bunch of other methods that return Collections in the ManagementView interface - these should also be reworked to never return null. The Javadoc should also indicate the methods will never return null.
