The method

      javax.xml.validation.ValidatorHandler.setFeature()

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

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

     api/javax_xml/validation/ValidatorHandler/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.ValidatorHandler;

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

       public static void main(String argv[]) {
           test t = new test();
           t.run();
       }

       public void run() {
          try {
              ValidatorHandler validatorHandler =
                  schemaFactory.newSchema().newValidatorHandler();
              validatorHandler.setFeature(null, false);
          } catch (Exception e) {
              if (e instanceof NullPointerException) {
                  System.out.println("OK");
              } else {
                  System.out.print("Failed. ");
                  e.printStackTrace();
              }
          }
       }
}
