/**
 * <P> This exception must be thrown when a JMS client 
 *     attempts to use a data type not supported by a message or attempts to 
 *     read data in a message as the wrong type. It must also be thrown when 
 *     equivalent type errors are made with message property values. For 
 *     example, this exception must be thrown if 
 *     <CODE>StreamMessage.writeObject</CODE> is given an unsupported class or 
 *     if <CODE>StreamMessage.readShort</CODE> is used to read a 
 *     <CODE>boolean</CODE> value. Note that the special case of a failure 
 *     caused by an attempt to read improperly formatted <CODE>String</CODE> 
 *     data as numeric values must throw the 
 *     <CODE>java.lang.NumberFormatException</CODE>.
