code: public static Class simpleJavaTypeToClass(String type)
      {
          try
          {
              return javaTypeToClass(type);
          }
          catch (ClassNotFoundException e)
          {
              log.log(Level.SEVERE, "Class " + type + " not found", e);
              throw new FacesException(e);
          }
      }
docs: Same as {@link #javaTypeToClass(String)}, but throws a RuntimeException
  (FacesException) instead of a ClassNotFoundException.
  
  @return the corresponding Class
  @throws NullPointerException if type is null
  @throws FacesException if class not found
