an exception return value from a message is indistinguishable from a thrown exception
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: ETCH-12
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ETCH-12
             Project: Etch
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: compiler, csharp-binding, java-binding
    Affects Versions: 1.0.1, 1.0.0
         Environment: java binding, csharp binding
            Reporter: scott comer


when a return value is an exception, it is saved in the "_result" field of the reply message. any thrown exception is also saved in the "_result" field. the remote code in the caller throws the value of the "_result" field if it is an exception. thus, the two cases cannot be distinguished.

not saying this should be fixed, just reporting it so that it can be documented.
