According to the API specification, getValue(String) should return null if no

attribute with the given name is found. This bug affects the DaCapo 9.12 fop

benchmark which is important for Jikes RVM.



The original bug report came from Jeremy Singer on the jikesrvm-researchers

mailing list (see

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=29938433 for the original

posting to the list).
