Description

XMLConfiguration throws a NullPointerException if an invalid resource name is
passed to its constructor, it should throw a ConfigurationException explaining
the issue instead.

Fix suggested by Ben Hutchison:

private static File resourceURLToFile(String resource) {
URL confURL = XMLConfiguration.class.getClassLoader().getResource(resource);
if (confURL == null)

{ confURL = ClassLoader.getSystemResource(resource); }

if (confURL == null)
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Resource:"resource" not found
thru context or system classloaders.");
return new File(confURL.getFile());
}
