activate(ActivationID, boolean)
- Method in interface java.rmi.activation.Activator
public MarshalledObject activate (ActivationID id, boolean force) throws ActivationException , UnknownObjectException , RemoteException
Activate the object associated with the activation identifier, id. If the activator knows the object to be active already, and force is false , the stub with a "live" reference is returned immediately to the caller; otherwise, if the activator does not know that corresponding the remote object is active, the activator uses the activation descriptor information (previously registered) to determine the group (VM) in which the object should be activated. If an ActivationInstantiator corresponding to the object's group descriptor already exists, the activator invokes the activation group's newInstance method passing it the object's id and descriptor. If the activation group for the object's group descriptor does not yet exist, the activator starts an ActivationInstantiator executing (by spawning a child process, for example). When the activator receives the activation group's call back (via the ActivationSystem's activeGroup method) specifying the activation group's reference, the activator can then invoke that activation instantiator's newInstance method to forward each pending activation request to the activation group and return the result (a marshalled remote object reference, a stub) to the caller. Note that the activator receives a "marshalled" object instead of a Remote object so that the activator does not need to load the code for that object, or participate in distributed garbage collection for that object. If the activator kept a strong reference to the remote object, the activator would then prevent the object from being garbage collected under the normal distributed garbage collection mechanism. Parameters: id - the activation identifier for the object being activated - if true, the activator contacts the group to obtain the remote object's reference; if false, returning the cached value is allowed.force - if true, the activator contacts the group to obtain the remote object's reference; if false, returning the cached value is allowed.Returns: the remote object (a stub) in a marshalled formThrows: ActivationException - if object activation fails - if object is unknown (not registered)UnknownObjectException - if object is unknown (not registered) - if remote call failsRemoteException - if remote call failsSince: JDK1.2

activate(Applet)
- Method in interface java.beans.AppletInitializer
public void activate (Applet newApplet)
Activate, and/or mark Applet active. Implementors of this interface shall mark this Applet as active, and optionally invoke its start() method. Parameters: The - newly instantiated JavaBean
activate(boolean)
- Method in class java.rmi.activation.ActivationID
public Remote activate (boolean force) throws ActivationException , UnknownObjectException , RemoteException
Activate the object for this id.Parameters: force - if true, forces the activator to contact the group when activating the object (instead of returning a cached reference); if false, returning a cached value is acceptable.Returns: the reference to the active remote objectThrows: ActivationException - if activation fails - if the object is unknownUnknownObjectException - if the object is unknown - if remote call failsRemoteException - if remote call failsSince: JDK1.2

Activate
Activate is the official student newspaper of Rhodes University. It was established in 1947 as Rhodeo, and during apartheid became an active part of the struggle for freedom of expression as part of the now defunct South African Student Press Union . These days, Activate is committed to informing students about issues relevant to their lives, both on campus and around the African continent. The newspaper is run entirely by the students and is published every second week of the university term. The current editor is Xanthe Galanis. In 2006, the Oppidan Press was estalished as another independent newspaper at Rhodes University expressly to cater to the needs of students who didn't live on campus.
