  The method javax.xml.xpath.XPathException.getMessage() returns a string representation
of the wrapped exception (see test.java below) in case when an instance of XPathException
is create by the constructor
  
     public XPathException(String message, Throwable e)

with the parameters: message = null, e = Exception("test").

This behavior is not specified in the javadoc of the class XPathException, so the value
null is expected to be returned.

  The bug appears in jdk1.5.0beta-b24 and affects a new JCK1.5 test:
  
    api/javax_xml/xpath/XPathException/index.html#Ctor[Ctor007]

------------------------------------test.java-----------------------------
import javax.xml.xpath.XPathException;

public class test {

    public static void main (String[] args) {
        XPathException xPathException = new XPathException(null, new Exception("test"));
        
        String message = xPathException.getMessage();
        if (message != null) {
            System.out.println("Expected null. Returned: " + message);
        } else {
            System.out.println("OK.");
        }
    }
}
