Is anyone, anywhere, working on defining security context for EJBs? I can't
find any evidence of this happening, but perhaps something is going on behind
closed doors or there is some draft spec floating about that I haven't seen.

And let's all hope that when such a beast exists, it will not require the use
of valuetypes or serialized Java objects in the service context list!!!
