Haha! Be that a lesson to you... I am never wrong... except for when I
am wrong and then that is a different matter all together :-P

Note on further checking - NPE is not an IAE. They're both

mistaken - but it would have been nice though.
Huh? Was there another Jason on this thread...
DOH - I misread your mail (that'll teach me for giving up caffeine) -
I thought you implied NPE extends IAE. Sorry Jason! You really said
this...
org.apache.geronimo.common.NullArgumentException extends IAE and
handles the formatting of the message too, so you can:
throw new NullArgumentException("address");
So we can all just throw NullArgumentException instead - cool.
To make life a little simpler if you're writing a method I've added a
wee helper method which checks for null & throws the exception if
required...
public void doSomething(Foo foo, Bar bar) {
NullArgumentException.checkForNull("foo", foo);
NullArgumentException.checkForNull("bar", bar);
...
}
