This was mentioned in [1] before. I think that one of the SCA goals is to allow developers to concentrate in the business logic, and leave the infrastructure details for the runtime. The idea is that you can have your component implementation and then use SCA Bindings to expose it's services using multiple protocols (e.g using json-rpc, rmi or jms).
But I see your scenario as a valid one, where a service invocation need to pass credentials or tokens when invoking some references, and these can be http based bindings or not, so we might need to see how we can accomplish this with a more generic solution if possible. Let's see what others have to say here... and I'll think more about the issue in parallel.
