Sorry if I am missing something, but the interceptor never sees the stream when data is flowing through it, right? It can access the stream object before any byte is written and after. But to do anything inbetween, the interceptor -just like a filter- has to hook a 'stream filter' into the output stream.
Can you provide an example of how an interceptor can do anything with the marshalled form that a filter cannot do.
Not trying to be difficult, but I feel as if I cannot see the forest for the trees.
