  • EnumConstantNotPresentException is thrown when an application tries to access an enum constant by name that does not exist within the enum type.

  • This exception is a subclass of RuntimeException and can be thrown by reflection APIs, such as when reading annotations.

  • It provides methods to retrieve the name (constantName()) and type (enumType()) of the missing enum constant.
