I have some questions about how exceptions are handled in thrift because it seems to be inconsistent across different languages.
The way I see it there are two kinds of exceptions that should be thrown when a client makes a call: 1. The service itself throws an exception that was generated for that service 2. The thrift application had an error and throws an exception It seems that the TApplicationException was designed to handle the second case. Also all exceptions thrown should inherit one common exception so that they can easily be caught in the client application. Currently java is different from many of the other languages. The generated exceptions from java inherit from the base Exception class while in C++,Python,PHP, JS and possible others extend TException. Is there a specific reason that the Java exceptions are different? If this is a bug I will gladly add it to JIRA and submit a patch. Nathaniel Cook
