**[Andrew Liles](https://jira.spring.io/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=andrew_liles)** opened **[SPR-6239](https://jira.spring.io/browse/SPR-6239?redirect=false)** and commented The [ParseException class](https://src.springframework.org/svn/spring-framework/tags/spring-framework-3.0.0.RC1/org.springframework.expression/src/main/java/org/springframework/expression/ParseException.java) (has 3 constructors. The second takes 'position' and 'cause' but does not pass them to the superclass. The third constructor takes 'position' but does not pass them to the superclass. The subclass SpelParseException is the main class that will emit parse exceptions and it calls one of the above-mentioned faulty constructors. It is a trivial fix, the first case of > `super(message);` > should be > `super(position, message, cause);` and the second should be > `super(position, message);` --- **Affects:** 3.0 RC1 **Referenced from:** commits https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/commit/a7f0d50643dd9ac19037227c9881317a0bcf782c
