022 * The <code>ElementException</code> is used to represent conditions 
023 * when an XML element is in an invalid state. Typically this is used
024 * when and element cannot be serialized or deserialized. Such a
025 * condition can arise when an element exists within the source XML 
026 * that does not match the schema class. For serialization this 
027 * exception is thrown if a required field is null.
