/**
 * The Invocation Context
 *
 * <p>Describes the context in which this Invocation is being executed in 
 *    the interceptors
 *
 * <p>The heart of it is the payload map that can contain anything we then 
 *    put readers on them. The first "reader" is this "Invocation" object that
 *    can interpret the data in it. 
 * 
 * <p>Essentially we can carry ANYTHING from the client to the server, we 
 *    keep a series of redifined variables and method calls to get at the 
 *    pointers.  But really it is just a repository of objects.
