    Description

      ObservedComponentFactory.newInstance() currently returns null when the observed path doesn't exist yet. It should return a default implementation (to be configured) or some form of null proxy (see for example Proxytoy's null object proxy) so that client code can always keep a reference to the observed singleton without having to care about it's state on the repo, thus making the observation/factory system entirely transparent.
