Yes you are right. There is one problem however and that is when you pass object
references
to other objects. This works ok as long as they exist in the same adress space but
if you pass
the reference to another machine then there is a need for an orb on the middle
with an object adapter.
An example of this is callback. Or is this possible without an orb ? (please
correct if Im wrong).
