JDK-6258215 - Num of backlog in ServerSocket(int, int) should be mentioned more explicitly in API document

JDK-5055581 - (spec) Unspecified behavior of SSLSocketFactory.createSocket() and SSLSocket constructors
Description
the test failed:
api/javax_net/ssl/SSLServerSocket/index.html#Ctor3[Ctor3003]

The test calls javax.net.ssl.SSLServerSocket.SSLServerSocket( validPortNumber, -100 ). And this call succeed.

I believe the method should throw IAE. Or the spec should describe RI behaviour in such cases.

EVALUATION The backlog argument must be a positive value greater than 0. If the value passed is equal or less than 0, then the default value will be assumed. Spec needs to be updated.
