This is strictly implementation related and is not, and should be, in
the spec.

You could use my SmartProxy package to do this. See:

How the RMI framework handles this is dependent on the specific
implementation. I suggest contacting [EMAIL PROTECTED] for details.

Again, both these issues are related to the specific RMI/EJB
implementations and is out of the scope of the EJB specification.
However, my SmartProxy package deals with (/can deal with) both of these
issues, regardless of the EJB server used.
