It is part of the entity bean serialization framework. I investigate it, because it is extremely untrivial to trick the Axis-Wsdl and serialized structures to look like ADO-streams.
For example, I have to put "dotNet" flags everywhere in Jboss.net that behave differently (namespace resolution, nullable values, etc) depending on whether a .net client is calling in to server or not. For example, you must be able to define non-recursive "views" via appropriate XML-Schema onto the entity-bean model to result in .net-processible structures. This is not primarily supported by axis with its one-java-class-one-xml-type approach everywhere. So it is still research and I am not sure whether or when it will result in productive, stable code afterwards that I can easily integrate with the jboss.net head revision.
