well, that's perfectly ok because Iterator or ListIterator is not
serializable either. Return collections from your beans. So orion let you
get away with a design error (which is bad, I admit as it should have
detected that the reurn type is neither a remote object nor serializable,
shouldn't it?) but it remains a design error on your part.
