    Description

      According to JAXP 1.4.3 Release Notes [1] and JAXP Compatibility Guide for the
      J2SE 6 Platform [2], the Java SE 6 includes important updates for 'Feature for
      Secure Processing' in JAXP starting from JDK6 Update 18.

      More specifically, [3] states that the extension functions ('XPath and XSLT
      extension functions') are disabled automatically when *Security Manager is
      present* ('-Djava.security.manager').

      However, we're seeing that Oracle's JDK6 Updates after JDK6u18 (e.g. 6u45)
      *don't* throw XPathFunctionException. At the same time the latest OpenJDK6 and
      OpenJDK7 builds and Oracle's JDK 7.0/7u45 do throw it.

      It's also not clear if the external to Java SE 6 specs JAXP docs ([1] and [2]) can be
      considered as authoritative.

      Thereby there is ambiguity between the JAXP compatibility guide, the Java SE 6
      RI, all Oracle JDK 6 implementations (and probably the JAXP specs) and all
      OpenJDK 6 versions for builds 18 and later.

      We believe that such difference in behaviour should be clarified and (possibly) fixed.

      Please use the minimized test (attached) to reproduce the difference:
