    34  Provides support for the  marshalling of value types.  Value type
    35  marshalling may require access to an implementation of the value type or
    36  to meta information about the value type.  This information is passed
    37  between the sending context and the receiving context using a particular
    38  service context containing an instance of the
    39  <code>SendingContext.RunTime</code> interface.
    40  <P>
    41  A sending context may be either the client side or the server side of
    42  an invocation, depending on which contains a value type.
    43  The sending context is the client side of an
    44  invocation if the request contains a value type. It is the server side
    45  if the reply contains a value type.  The other party in the communication
    46  is the receiving context.
    47  <P>
    48  The service context marshalled for <code>SendingContext</code>
    49  consists of an encapsulated IOR for the <code>SendingContext.RunTime</code>
    50  interface.  <code>RunTime</code> is just a marker
    51  interface defined to allow extensibility in the future.  There is
    52  currently only one subinterface of <code>RunTime</code> defined:
    53  the <code>SendingContext.CodeBase</code> interface.
    54  The interface <code>CodeBase</code> defines operations to obtain code URLs
    55  and meta-information about a value type received from the sending
    56  context.
    57  <P>
    58  Note that these classes are currently defined in the
    59  <code>com.sun.org.omg.SendingContext</code>
    60  package rather than in the package <code>org.omg.SendingContext</code>.
    61  This has been done to avoid including large parts of the interface
    62  repository in the JDK core, since the interface repository is still
    63  evolving in response to the needs of the CORBA Components work.
