JAV2I12 — Marshalling of Any, Context, Principal, and TypeCode

Summary: This item arises from the Java-to-IDL Mapping RFP, but is also of
concern to the IDL-to-Java RTF because it affects the IDL-to-Java
mapping.

How do SerializationInputStream and SerializationOutputStream marshal
Any, Context, Principal, and TypeCode objects? Is the same mechanism
used as for user-defined IDL types, i.e., look for the IDLEntity
marker interface and call the implementation helper class"s write
or read method? If so, we need to clarify that vendor implementation
of these types must implement IDLEntity and provide a Helper class.

I propose that we state in the spec that vendor implementations of
these types must implement IDLEntity and provide a Helper class.
