Description

It would be nice to be able to have exceptions that are thrown by services be caught independently of other thrift exceptions. Currently generated exceptions extend TException directly. They should extend a TServiceException which in turn extends TException. This would allow client code to catch all exceptions thrown by the service without catching exceptions related to the actual thrift communication layer
