FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.5.0-beta"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-beta-b32c)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-beta-b32c, mixed mode)


ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
DOMConfiguration.getParameterNames() returns parameters names that
DOMConfiguration.getParameter(...) does not recognize (even for the same
DOMConfiguration instance).

Something seems out of sync.


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
(Compile and run test case below.)

Call getParameterNames to get a list of parameter names known to the
DOM implementation. Call getParameter( name ) to get the current setting
of each supposedly known parameter.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
getParameter should never reject a parameter name from getParameterNames
as unknown (or getParameterNames should never return an unknown
parameter).

ACTUAL -
(See exact error below.)

getParameter throws a FEATURE_NOT_FOUND DOMException, saying it
doesn't recognize the feature name even though the feature name came
right from the DOM implementation.

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
org.w3c.dom.DOMException: FEATURE_NOT_FOUND: The parameter http://xml.org/sax/features/validation is not recognized.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
