Description

The stack trace whenever the validation is triggered on a SyntheticResource looks like this

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: ValueMap may not be null
	at org.apache.sling.validation.impl.ValidationServiceImpl.validateValueMap(ValidationServiceImpl.java:226)
	at org.apache.sling.validation.impl.ValidationServiceImpl.validate(ValidationServiceImpl.java:150)
	at org.apache.sling.validation.impl.ValidationServiceImpl.validate(ValidationServiceImpl.java:140)
	at 
...

In case the validation model only contains optional validations this should be silently ignored, in all other cases there must be a reasonable ValidationFailure be returned instead of this exception.
