[TYPO3-50-general] Identity definition - integrity checks?

[Manuel Strausz]

Just to clarify, I'm talking about the \F3\FLOW3\Property\Mapper class here, 
and specifically the findObjectByIdentityProperties method.
The exception is thrown one step later by the transformToObject method. 
Which is confusing, since it just says that the query was unsuccessful (but 
gives no indication as to why).
I'm really not sure what the intended behaviour should be in this case. 
Should findObjectByIdentityProperties return FALSE when it finds more than 1 
object, throw an exception, or just return the 1st one? How does one prevent 
duplicate identities in general?
Sorry for being so nosy, just want to make sure I understand the mechanics 
correctly.

I'll gladly open a ticket, just wasn't sure if this is a bug at all or just 
a misunderstanding from my side.

By the way, great work on the framework so far, it's really the best 
structured piece of code I've seen in a while. Been reading through the 
codebase since a week, and it's a real joy to figure out all the details :)

Regards,
Manuel
