Description

Here's the constructor:
public AddressException(String message, String ref)

{ this(message, null, -1); }

The constructor that it's calling has this signature:
AddressException(String message, String ref, int pos)

So it seems likely that the constructor was intended to pass the ref parameter through as part of its call.

As far as I can tell, the constructor in question is unused in Geronimo, so nothing is really "broken." My motivation for reporting this is merely that it was detected by an https://code.google.com/p/error-prone/ check.
