<P>I'm not sure if the componentType of the owning component or interface contracts are needed.

<P>We keep the XML document from the Java serialization and load the XML into a composite model to rebuild the endpoint in the context of the consuming component. The currect scheme of XML serialization probably contains too much information and some of them cannot be practically resolvable on the client side. For example, the target component implementation or interface contracts.</P>
