  The following methods of the class javax.xml.xpath.XPath
  
     public void setFunctionResolver(XPathFunctionResolver resolver)
     public void setNamespaceContext(NamespaceContext nsContext)
     public void setVariableResolver(XPathVariableResolver resolver)

do not throw NullPointerException in case when null is passed to them (see test.java
below). According to the javadoc

   public void setFunctionResolver(XPathFunctionResolver resolver)
      ...
      A NullPointerException is trown if resolver is null.
    
   public void setNamespaceContext(NamespaceContext nsContext)
      ...
      A NullPointerException is trown if resolver is null
  
   public void setVariableResolver(XPathVariableResolver resolver)
      ...
      A NullPointerException is trown if resolver is null.


the methods should throw NullPointerException in such a case.

  The bug appears in jdk1.5.0beta-b25 and affects new JCK1.5 tests:
  
    api/javax_xml/xpath/XPath/index.html#SetGet[SetGet003]
    api/javax_xml/xpath/XPath/index.html#SetGet[SetGet006]
    api/javax_xml/xpath/XPath/index.html#SetGet[SetGet009]

import javax.xml.xpath.XPath;

public class test {

    public static void main (String[] args) {
        try {

            XPath xpath = xpf.newXPath();
            
            try {
                xpath.setFunctionResolver(null);
                System.out.println("setFunctionResolver: NPE not thrown.");
            } catch (NullPointerException e) {
                System.out.println("setFunctionResolver: OK");
            }
            
            try {
                xpath.setNamespaceContext(null);
                System.out.println("setNamespaceContext: NPE not thrown.");
            } catch (NullPointerException e) {

            }

            try {
                xpath.setVariableResolver(null);
                System.out.println("setVariableResolver: NPE not thrown.");
            } catch (NullPointerException e) {
                System.out.println("setVariableResolver: OK");
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
