Error description

• Problem is documented here:

  The problem is that the method composeListPrice of the command
  ComposeCatalogEntrySummaryTaskCmdImpl is accessing the
  deprecated LISTPRICE table and causing exceptions to fill the
  logs whenever products are displayed on the storefront.

  when it finds "null" (as the table is deprecated so is empty) it
  throws many exceptions.
  
  Caching lessons the frequency of the exceptions
  

Local fix

  such as '-1'
