Container : NullPointerException when event target not found

In the Container.dispatch method, I believe the check for a null value
of pointer should also check for an instance of NullPointer ie

    public boolean dispatch(String targetId, String eventType, Object
info) throws XFormsException {
        if (this.rootContext != null) {
            Pointer pointer = this.rootContext.getPointer("//*[@id='" +
targetId + "']");
            
            if (pointer != null) {
                // Causes NullPointerException if pointer is a
NullPointer.
                EventTarget eventTarget = (EventTarget)
pointer.getNode();

                return dispatch(eventTarget, eventType, info);
            }
        }

        throw new XFormsException("event target '" + targetId + "' not
found");
    }

should actually be 

    public boolean dispatch(String targetId, String eventType, Object
info) throws XFormsException {
        if (this.rootContext != null) {
            Pointer pointer = this.rootContext.getPointer("//*[@id='" +
targetId + "']");
            
            if (pointer != null && (!pointer instanceof NullPointer)) {
                EventTarget eventTarget = (EventTarget)
pointer.getNode();

                return dispatch(eventTarget, eventType, info);
            }
        }

        throw new XFormsException("event target '" + targetId + "' not
found");
    }
