hello all

i realize that i could use ThreadLocal to pass an object to a method in my EJB as long as the call is executed in the same JVM. what if one ejb has to make a remote call to another? Can the ThreadLocal be used? If not, how would i pass an object implicitely (without requiring an extra method param on the remote ejb) across different jboss instances?

Thanks a lot for any help!
