During the [JDK-8344891 Remove uses of sun.misc.ReflectUtil in java.desktop](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8344891) it was discovered that `beans/finder/MethodFinder.findMethod' incorrectly returned null if a signature was not in the cache and added it to the cache if it was already there:
Method method = CACHE.get(signature);
return (method == null) ? method : CACHE.create(signature);
This resulted in a [significant drop in performance](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8350573).
----
Before ReflectUtil was removed, it worked by coincidence:
Method method = CACHE.get(signature);
return (method == null) || isPackageAccessible(method.getDeclaringClass()) ? method : CACHE.create(signature);
1. `Cache#get` non-obviously creates a value in Cache, this in turn allowed us to avoid the NPE in the `(method == null) || isPackageAccessible(method.getDeclaringClass())` condition
https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/d6c4be672f6348f8ed985416ed90d0447f5d5bb3/src/java.desktop/share/classes/com/sun/beans/util/Cache.java#L120-L126
2. `isPackageAccessible(method.getDeclaringClass())` was evaluated as true
This is how we previously returned the cached value.
---
So the solution is obvious:
Method method = CACHE.get(signature);
return (method != null) ? method : CACHE.create(signature);
Testing is green.
