The methods

     javax.xml.xpath.XPath.evaluate(String expression, InputSource source, QName returnType)
     javax.xml.xpath.XPath.evaluate(String expression, InputSource source)
     javax.xml.xpath.XPath.evaluate(String expression, URL documentURL, QName returnType)
     javax.xml.xpath.XPath.evaluate(String expression, URL documentURL)

throw XPathExpressionException instead of NullPointerException in cases when the methods
are called with either null expression or null returnType.The methods should throw the
NullPointerException according to the javadoc.

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

   api/javax_xml/xpath/XPath/index.html#Evaluate[Evaluate053]
   api/javax_xml/xpath/XPath/index.html#Evaluate[Evaluate055]
   api/javax_xml/xpath/XPath/index.html#Evaluate[Evaluate057]
   api/javax_xml/xpath/XPath/index.html#Evaluate[Evaluate059]
   api/javax_xml/xpath/XPath/index.html#Evaluate[Evaluate061]
   api/javax_xml/xpath/XPath/index.html#Evaluate[Evaluate063]
