Not true! :-) Acegi Security System for Spring will happily and 
transparently move your SecurityContext from one machine to another when 
used with the RMI or HttpInvoker remoting protocols. It also offers an 
EJB equivalent run-as replacement capability if the remote bean operates 
in a different security realm (ie needs different credentials) than the 
caller's security realm.

Very true about the desire to limit network calls.
