Both NPE and IAE is a RuntimeException, then what's difference between
your idea above and below ?
org.apache.geronimo.common.NullArgumentException extends "NPE" and
throw new NullArgumentException("address");
(the class name doesn't match with NPE though)

then, what if u use IAE, it's easier to figure out where it came ??
I think it's all up to how to code, catch and trace.
hm...am I delaying to decide the coding standard or just a flamer ?
I cannot say which one is better right now but somehow afraid of
quick decision.
