Don't you just love it!

Yes, a number of vendors support this.

Yes, Sybase EAServer does this automatically.

Yes.

I think it is, if the Java classes were originally generated from IDL such
that they are marked as "implements org.omg.CORBA.portable.IDLEntity" (see
CORBA 2.3 IDL to Java spec). As far as I can tell, Java RMI/IIOP should use the
CORBA/Java helper class for marshalling these serializable types (IDLEntity
extends java.io.Serializable).
