Given an idl exception type

exception my_exception {string reason;};

idlj does not create the correct helper method for the type information. It creates a method that returns a struct type code.

If this wrong type method is used to insert the user type into an Any, for example, then the Anys type is set to struct. Using this Any to return a user exception to the client causes an exception in the server in the call to request.except().
