   The method of the class javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar

public static XMLGregorianCalendar parse(String lexicalRepresentation)

does not throw IllegalArgumentException in case when the date '1999-02-29'
is parsed.

The javadoc of the method reads:
"
  Returns a non-null valid XMLGregorianCalendar object that holds
  the value indicated by the lexicalRepresentation parameter.
  ...
  Throws:
    IllegalArgumentException - If the given string does not conform to
                               the aforementioned specification.
"
So, if the method returns a value, the value must be valid (i.e. method
isValid() should return true), otherwise IllegalArgumentException should
be thrown. As the year 1999 is not leap the date '1999-02-29' is not
valid and IllegalArgumentException should be thrown.

The bug affects the following new JCK-15 beta2 test:

    api/javax_xml/datatype/XMLGregorianCalendar/index.html#Parse[Parse003]

The bug is found in jdk1.5.0/beta2/b44. The test is in KFL with the RI bug

4972888 XMLGregorianCalendar.parse throws StringIndexOutOfBoundsException

To reproduce the bug compile and run th e following code as shown in the log below.
------------------------------------------ test.java
import javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar;

class test {

    public static void main(String [] args) {
        try {
            XMLGregorianCalendar calendar
                = XMLGregorianCalendar.parse("1999-02-29");
            if (!calendar.isValid()) {
                System.out.println("Failed: isValid() returns false");
            }
            System.out.println("Failed: IllegalArgumentException is not thrown");
        } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
            System.out.println("OK");
        }
    }
}
