[PATCH] null pointer exception in XMLDB transformer

           Summary: [PATCH] null pointer exception in XMLDB transformer
           Product: Cocoon 2
           Version: Current CVS 2.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: blocks
        AssignedTo: dev@cocoon.apache.org
        ReportedBy: tjg@star.le.ac.uk


The code assumes that DatabaseManager.getCollection raises an XMLDBException for
errors, but in fact in at least some cases (non-existent collection), it returns
null.

The patch reworks the error checking to explicitly raise an exception for this case.
