[Simple-support] Request: accessible data fields in PersistenceException

[Atkins, B. <Bri...@ne...>]

I am using Simple for both serialization and as a configuration
mechanism.  I'd like to format user friendly messages when
deserialization fails due to missing elements or attributes, or when
values can't be parsed correctly (e.g. NumberFormatException).  Would it
be possible to put relevant data in accessible fields in
PersistenceException? 

For deserialization, information such as enclosing element/class, the
actual element or attribute that failed (perhaps already indicated by
exception subtype and/or cause exception (e.g. FormatException w/ cause
NumberFormatException) would be most helpful.

Much of this data is already provided, but it is immediately formatted
into the message text.  If the same information could also be provided
as fields accessible from the exception class, it would be much  easier
to customize handling of the exception.

Any information on existing methods of getting this sort of information
during deserialization would also be welcome.

Thanks!
