if you instantiate objects remotely, you use some form of factory. It is the factory's
responsability
to pass any desired parameters to the servant's constructor. There is nothing to publish as part
of the IDL, as private class members (of the servant class that implements a specific interface)
are an implementation detail, i.e. may vary between two implementations of the same interface.
