We need some mechanism for converting from the remote to local references and
visa versa. Perhaps the following two methods should be added to the EJBContext.

public interface EJBContext {

  public EJBLocalObject getEJBLocalObject(EJBObject remoteRef);

  public EJBObject getEJBObject(EJBLocalObject localRef);

}

Of course, this would only work if the EJBObject/EJBLocalObject being converted
represented a enterprise bean that is actually deployed in the same container
system as the enterprise bean making the EJBContext call.
