Description

If an exception is thrown during a request in a Java NettyServer, an InvalidCastException is thrown in Avro.ipc.Specific.SpecificRequestor.ReadError when it attempts to cast the string response to an Exception.

An example response is "java.lang.NullPointerException: null of com.foo.Bar"

I expect the ReadError code to support string errors and translate them to the correct C# equivalent.
