  The method Node.getBaseURI() returns null in case when the base URI is defined by the
attribute 'xml:base' in a root element (see test.java below). According to the method
javadoc
  
    public String getBaseURI()

    The absolute base URI of this node or null if undefined. This value is computed
    according to [XML Base].

the method should return the defined uri.

  The bug appears in jdk1.5.0beta-b17 and affects a new JCK1.5 test:
  
    api/org_w3c/dom/Node/index.html#GetBaseURI

------------------------------------test.java-----------------------------
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import org.xml.sax.InputSource;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import java.io.StringReader;

public class test {

    String data =
        "<?xml version='1.0' ?>"
      + "<root xml:base='http://xxx.yyy/&#39; />";
      
    DocumentBuilder docBuilder = null;

    public static void main(String argv[]) {
        new test().run();
    }
    
    public void run() {
        try {
            DocumentBuilderFactory docBF = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
            docBuilder = docBF.newDocumentBuilder();
            
            Document doc = parse(data);
            
            System.out.println(doc.getDocumentElement().getBaseURI());
            
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return;
        }

    }
    
    private Document parse(String xmlData) throws Exception {
         StringReader in = new StringReader(xmlData);
         InputSource source = new InputSource(in);
         return docBuilder.parse(source);
    }
}
