/**
 *  

Thrown when an object is an instance of an unexpected type (a class or interface). * This exception supplements the standard IllegalArgumentException * by providing a more semantically rich description of the problem.

* *

IllegalClassException represents the case where a method takes * in a genericly typed parameter like Object (typically because it has to due to some * other interface it implements), but this implementation only actually accepts a specific * type, for example String. This exception would be used in place of * IllegalArgumentException, yet it still extends it.

* *
 *  public void foo(Object obj) {
 *    if (obj instanceof String == false) {
 *      throw new IllegalClassException(String.class, obj);
 *    }
 *    // do something with the string
 *  }
