That makes sense.

Some more context should help: I'm working on a REST application in which,
before switching to exceptions, each time an error was returned, I used to
create arrays objects containing such error messages and then let the _View_
transform the PHP object into a JSON or XML one.
Now with exceptions it seems to me that the controller logic is simplified
a lot: instead of all the <<if () return array('error' => )>> logic, I can
simply call the the method interest and let it throw the specific exception if
needed; moreover, I can use a custom exception handler able to understand the
kind or request (JSON or XML) and create the well-formatted error page.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a good way to do things? Thanks for the
advices.
