I believe you are correct for those implementations based on RMI. If the
underlying ORB is a CORBA implementation, I don't believe you are correct. I
don't specifically know where RMI ends and IIOP begins, but the RMI (or is
it JRMP?) protocol, will marshall any class files not found on the client
automagically. CORBA Orbs (i.e. Visigenic) will not.
