Class InternalException

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable

public class InternalException extends RuntimeException
Encapsulates exceptions for "should never occur" situations. Extends RuntimeException so it need not explicitly be caught. Logs the exception as a fatal error, and if debug is enabled, includes the full stack trace.
