The methods

     javax.xml.validation.Validator.getFeature()
     javax.xml.validation.Validator.setFeature()

throw SAXNotRecognizedException instead of NullPointerException in case when a feature name is
null. The methods should throw NullPointerException according to the javadoc.

The bug affects new JCK1.5 tests (not integrated yet):

    api/javax_xml/validation/Validator/index.html#GetSetFeature[GetSetFeature001]
    api/javax_xml/validation/Validator/index.html#GetSetFeature[GetSetFeature003]

The following test fails running on JDK 1.5.0-beta-b31.
See below the test source and the execution log:
------------------------------------test.java-----------------------------
import javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory;
import javax.xml.validation.Validator;

public class test {
      SchemaFactory schemaFactory = SchemaFactory.newInstance("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");

      public static void main(String argv[]) {
          test t = new test();
          t.run01();
          System.out.println("\n");

          t.run02();
      }

      public void run01() {
         try {
             Validator validator = schemaFactory.newSchema().newValidator();
             System.out.println("Validator.getFeature(null)");
             validator.getFeature(null);
         } catch (Exception e) {
             if (e instanceof NullPointerException) {
                 System.out.println("OK");
             } else {
                 System.out.print("Failed. ");
                 e.printStackTrace();
             }
         }
      }

      public void run02() {
         try {
             Validator validator = schemaFactory.newSchema().newValidator();
             System.out.println("Validator.setFeature(null, false)");
             validator.setFeature(null, false);
         } catch (Exception e) {

                 e.printStackTrace();
