      Description



        Name: eaR10174 Date: 12/26/2003


        The methods

             javax.xml.xpath.XPath.evaluate(String, InputSource, QName)
             javax.xml.xpath.XPath.evaluate(String, InputSource)

        throw IllegalArgumentException in case when InputSource is null.
        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[Evaluate054]
           api/javax_xml/xpath/XPath/index.html#Evaluate[Evaluate058]

        The following test fails running on JDK 1.5.0-beta-b32.
        See below the test source and the execution log:
