The method

     javax.xml.validation.ValidatorHandler.getFeature()

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[GetSetFeature001]

The following test fails running on JDK 1.5.0-beta-b32.
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 {
             System.out.println("ValidatorHandler.getFeature(null)");
             ValidatorHandler validatorHandler = schemaFactory.newSchema().newValidatorHandler();
             validatorHandler.getFeature(null);
         } catch (Exception e) {
             if (e instanceof NullPointerException) {
                 System.out.println("OK");
             } else {
                 System.out.print("Failed. ");
                 e.printStackTrace();
             }
         }
      }
}
