A request Interceptor is designed to intercept the flow of a request/reply sequence through the ORB at specific points so
that services can query the request information and manipulate the service contexts that are propagated between clients and
servers.
The primary use of request Interceptors is to enable ORB services to transfer context information between clients and servers.
There are two types of request Interceptors: client-side (see Section 21.3.5, “Client-
Side Interceptor,? on page 21-9) and server-side (see Section 21.3.8, “Server-Side
Interceptor,? on page 21-14).
