Description

If the ComponentFactory.newInstance method cannot create a component instance, null must not be returned but a ComponentException must be thrown as described in Section 112.5.5, Factory Component, of the DS Specification:

If SCR is unable to satisfy the component
configuration given the component properties and the Dictionary argument
to newInstance, the newInstance method must throw a
ComponentException.
