Do-Nothing Adapter accessor method
<p>I've looked around a lot for help with this specific question, maybe my wording is off, if that's the case, a link would be perfect!</p>

<p>Here's the problem:</p>

<p>I have an interface with the following:</p>

<pre><code>Product get(String prodCode);
</code></pre>

<p>I also have an abstract class implementing the interface with the following:</p>

<pre><code>public Product get(String prodCode) { //Do nothing }
</code></pre>

<p>However, to satisfy the compiler, I have to return something (either null or a Product). My understanding is that it shouldn't return either of these things as it would no longer "do nothing".  I'm not sure how to satisfy the compiler while also doing nothing.</p>
