Description

Bugtraq ID 6308861
Currently, the Lookup Service Specification in LU 2.5 explicitly prohibits a null return value from the two-parameter lookup() method in ServiceRegistrar. This is the only place where language prohibits returning a null value from a method. From the context, it can be inferred that this was done to distinguish this method from the single-parameter lookup(), which may return null. That said, it might be useful to make a general statement that, unless otherwise noted, return values of the methods declared in this spec may not be null to avoid a different interpretation.
