I'm not interested in using any kind of standard for propagating context, but
I'm interested in using IIOP. What matter here is that RMI-IIOP will become the
mandatory communication protocole for J2EE and I hope we will rely on IIOP
paterns for transmitting security and transaction context. SUN now has to
specify a fix place for putting those context information into the IIOP stack,
in other to enable true ORB interoperability. Let's learn from "Other's
mistakes" (CORBA interoperability).
