A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
We're using AXIS 1.1 to make a soap call. We're using java 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 in production with success now.
Trying to switch to java 1.5 beta2 we can't do any AXIS call at all. du to the differenct behavoir of the SAXParserImpl class. When a unknown property is set this results in a NullPointerException.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
          SAXParser parser = SAXParserFactory.newInstance().newSAXParser();
                parser.setProperty("http://xml.org/sax/properties/lexical-handler", this);


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
org.xml.sax.SAXNotSupportedException: Property: http://xml.org/sax/properties/lexical-handler
ACTUAL -
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
