I was and maybe am still a bit unsure of what you are proposing.
I think everyone is in agreement that it would be a good idea to have a
TurbineException which could/should be used in cases where Turbine is
generating an exception e.g.
if (someCondition) throw TurbineException;
The second issue is whether any exception thrown during the execution of
Turbine and is caught by the Turbine servlet should get wrapped into a
TurbineException. I do not see a problem with this, since the Turbine
servlet is already catching all exceptions. If you think this would
facilitate debugging, I guess I would say, try it.
A third possibility is trying to have the various components in Turbine wrap
exceptions into TurbineExceptions. If you are proposing this, it would seem
you need to make a better case for it.
