Quite a hard question for people to answer without any example code which  
people can use to replay your issue.

According to some on-line docs there is no secureValidation() or  
getBoolean() method in that Utils class:
http://www.docjar.com/html/api/org/jcp/xml/dsig/internal/dom/Utils.java.html

So I can't comment on your issue without more information. My advice would  
be to download the source of the org.jcp...bla package you are using  
(maybe it is inside the jdk, I don't know from your information and don't  
the time to look it up for you) and look at the mentioned line numbers  
what is happening so it generates a NPE.
