Activator
- interface java.rmi.activation..Activator
public interface Activator extends Remote
public MarshalledObject activate (ActivationID id, boolean force) throws ActivationException , UnknownObjectException , RemoteException
The Activator facilitates remote object activation. A "faulting" remote reference calls the activator's activate method to obtain a "live" reference to a "activatable" remote object. Upon receiving a request for activation, the activator looks up the activation descriptor for the activation identifier, id, determines the group in which the object should be activated initiates object re-creation via the group's ActivationInstantiator (via a call to the newInstance method). The activator initiates the execution of activation groups as necessary. For example, if an activation group for a specific group identifier is not already executing, the activator initiates the execution of a VM for the group.
