The description for the
    javax.imageio.metadata.IIOMetadata.getMetadataFormat(String formatName)
says nothing about throwing IllegalStateException, but
getMetadataFormat does throw it in the example below:
========================== a.java =============================
import javax.imageio.metadata.IIOMetadata;
import org.w3c.dom.Node;

public class a extends IIOMetadata {
    static String[] sarr1 = {"name1"};
    static String[] sarr2 = {"name2"};

    public static void main (String argv[]) throws Exception {
        new a();
    }

    public a() throws Exception {
        super(true, null, null, sarr1, sarr2);
        getMetadataFormat("name1");
    }

    public Node getAsTree(String formatName) {
        return null;
    }

    public boolean isReadOnly() {
        return true;
    }

    public void mergeTree(String formatName, Node root) {}

    public void reset() {}
}
