/**
 * The actual RemoteInvocation that is passed from the client to the server, which contains the
 * contents of {@link SecurityContextHolder}, being a {@link SecurityContext} object.When constructed on the
 * client via {@link org.acegisecurity.context.rmi.ContextPropagatingRemoteInvocationFactory}, the contents of the
 * SecurityContext are stored inside the object. The object is then passed to the server that is
 * processing the remote invocation. Upon the server invoking the remote invocation, it will retrieve the passed
 * contents of the SecurityContextHolder and set them to the server-side
 * SecurityContextHolder whilst the target object is invoked. When the target invocation has been
 * completed, the server-side SecurityContextHolder will be reset to a new instance of
 * SecurityContextImpl.
