Description

In V2.01 (dated November 2005) of the SDO specification it is stated in the table on page 28 that a ClassCastException is expected when get cannot convert from a value to the requested type. However, in many instances an IllegalArgumentException is instead thrown.

Here is the example explicitly mentioned in the table as throwing a ClassCastException (getDate on a float value), however an IllegalArgumentException is seen in the test case.

// IllegalArgumentException when expecting ClassCastException

test_obj.setFloat("floatVal", Float.MAX_VALUE);
test_obj.getDate("floatVal");
