That's because of the CORBA compatibility. From J2EE 1.3, an application server have to support RMI over IIOP. But when you are using local interfaces, you know that the object comes from a Java environment. Hence, you can just perform a normal Java cast.

The specs mention it is due to rmi-iiop compatibility. Can any body explain in more details about it.
