  MessageFormatException

    public class MessageFormatException

extends JMSException

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 `StreamMessage.writeObject` is given an unsupported class or if `StreamMessage.readShort` is used to read a `boolean` value. Note that the special case of a failure caused by an attempt to read improperly formatted `String` data as numeric values must throw the `java.lang.NumberFormatException`.
