I2JAV11 — PortableServer Servant issue

Summary: The currently specified definition of the org.omg.CORBA.PortableServer.Servant
class does not correctly implement the behavior specified. In particular, the
POA returned by PortableServer::Current::get_POA is always used during the
processing of _this_object() even if _this_object() is not being called on the
Servant which is currently being invoked as part of the request. This contradicts
the behavior defined in the first bullet item for _this_object as defined in
section 25.19.2.1 "Mapping of PortableServer::Servant".

Also, the overall behavior of _this() may need some tweaking (see my other email
"Behavior of POA Servant"s _this()"), which may require us to revisit the
definition of the Servant class.
