This discussion of asking for an easy way to get the
local object from a remote object sounds to me identical
to the discussion as it happend on the RMI list way back
when.
And I recall that there was reason why the RMI folk didn't want
to allow that capability (either security or ensuring state).
I think that EJB local and remote objects are (or may be)
directly related to RMI local and remote objects and end up, therefore,
having the same issue when asking for the local object from
the remote object.
I'm sorry I can't be of further help, but I think that it may be worth
pursuing the reason the RMI folk didn't allow this before going
down the same road in the EJB world.
