The existace of a component that is itself a proxy is a developer 
decision.  For example, the org.omg.ORB class is a proxy to an 
implementation.  The Java VM handles the loading of the implemetation 
class behind the scenes.  But the developer needs to say to the 
assembler - hey - watch out - this class is already a proxy. 
 Potentially, an assembler could be dealing with alternative 
implentations of a particular service - one already a proxy, and another 
an interface.  Is there an issue for the assembler - or is this an issue 
for the container?  My feeling is that this is an issue between the 
container and the componet - however, if it is an assembler issue, then 
the question for the assemble is if a proxy class is allowed or not. 
 However, I doubt if this is a valid assembler question.  The only thing 
I can think of as an issue is if the class implements lifecyle 
interfaces that could be potentially absused and as a result, raise a 
security implication.

Cheers, Steve.
