Description

Currently the javadoc for ResourceResolver.getParentResourceType(String) is very unclear in terms on when to expect null as return value (https://github.com/apache/sling/blob/trunk/bundles/api/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/api/resource/ResourceResolver.java#L684).
This should be clarified.
Also it is not clear whether the parameter resourceType is searched in the {{ResourceResolver}}s search paths.
