So that does not hold. I looked at it again. `ProcessFunction` in thrift 0.9.3 contains the following: ``` try { result = getResult(iface, args); } catch(TException tex) { LOGGER.error("Internal error processing " + getMethodName(), tex); TApplicationException x = new TApplicationException(TApplicationException.INTERNAL_ERROR, "Internal error processing " + getMethodName()); oprot.writeMessageBegin(new TMessage(getMethodName(), TMessageType.EXCEPTION, seqid)); x.write(oprot); oprot.writeMessageEnd(); oprot.getTransport().flush(); return; } ``` As you can see when `getResult` throws it is encoded regardless of oneway. You may ask when does `getResult` throw? Looking at the generated code, for example: ``` public getById_result getResult(I iface, getById_args args) throws org.apache.thrift.TException { getById_result result = new getById_result(); try { result.success = iface.getById(args.userId); } catch (UserNotFoundException exc1) { result.exc1 = exc1; } return result; } ``` it throws when it can not decode the request, or when the service implementation throws any unchecked exception.
