Errr. Don't suppose you have a preview copy that needs reviewing
(promise I'll buy one when it comes out as well ;-).

OK, thanks, but I guess an understanding of the protocol stuff would
still come in handy - I know that IIOP has stuff for propagation of
security contexts and so on built in but I'm clueless about RMI or the
differences between RMI versions. I understood that this was one of the
reasons why IIOP was chosen as the default protocol for J2EE. What
happened to the plans for an RMI-IIOP component in JBoss - I think I
remember seeing it as one of the goals (admittedly ages ago, when I
first glimpsed at the site after a former colleague mentioned it).
