[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBAOP-560) When an AspectFactory returns null no interceptor should be added to the chain

[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAOP-560?page=comments#action_12412482 ] Flavia Rainone commented on JBAOP-560: -------------------------------------- The feature is already implemented. However, the ConcurrentHashMap instances, used for storing aspect instances, are not compatible with null values.. Not storing null aspects results in extra calls to factories. Besides representing an overhead, this might introduce a bug. Suppose that a factory returns non-null instances at every 2 times it is called. If we call this factory more than once for the same scope, it will result in an inconsistent behaviour. I suggest storing an aspect that represents null in those tables.
