interface ObjectRefDesc

extends PassByConstruction

How non-PassByConstruction objects are passed, ie, how references to them are passed.

The sending side should ensure that only the captp comm system itself can cause these to be sent, and that they are always sent in a valid state. The receiving side should always revalidate during dereference (which happens during unserialization).

XXX is a "private void validate()" automatically called during unserialization? Where does it say this?
