Not sure.  Seems we might have to do all the work on our end  
considering something declared as an application exception via the  
deployment descriptor will also need to have the inheritance enforced.

Initially it might really be as simple as checking if the exception is  
listed in the DeploymentInfo like we do now, and then just check for  
the super class of that exception if the answer comes back no.

That wouldn't support the inheritance=false case, but it's not really  
critical initially IMHO.
