public class SymbolException
extends java.lang.RuntimeException

Exception indicating an error relating to symbol resolution processing. This class is intentionally implemented as an unchecked exception to avoid the performance penalty of wrapping every call to invoke a function in a try-catch block. Note that this places an additional burden on the designer of a function library to keep the library simple in terms of its runtime function lookup and invocation requirements.
