Main thread that starts the ORB and servants sometimes wants to capture some 
exceptions raised by servants code. Theoritically it seems impossible, 
because the main thread usually is not the same thread as the servant 
thread.

That means, just like you mentioned, on server side we can only capture the 
exception in the servant itself. This is sometimes a little inflexible for 
writing server applications.
