I would eventually do the following:

try {
      buggyCodeThrowsNullPointerException();
} catch (Exception oopsThisWasIgnoredByLazyProgrammer) {
      throw new BusinessLayerSpecificException(
           "Unable to process request for no good reason.",
           oopsThisWasIgnoredByLazyProgrammer);
}

So use the cause of an exception for piggybacking
the reason. This is a kind of a competing mechanism
to supression.
