A big +++++1 one for this proposal, having our own FeatureAccessException with a Constructor FeatureAccessException(Exception ex).
The IOException drives me crazy, because in Java 5 there is no constructor IOException(Exception ex), in Java 6 there is. Getting a backend exception (e. g. SQLException) is problematic. What to do ? a) throw new RuntimeException(sqlEx) b) throw new IOException (sqlEx.getMessage()) Neither of them is a lucky solution. Having our own exception makes the interfaces consistent, we can always save the original exception and we can build a nice Exception hierarchy if we need. (FeatureReadException,FeatureWriteException,FeatureMetaDataException,,,) IMHO, Very good idea.
