|---|---|
| static ActivationID | Activatable. exportObject(Remote obj,
            String location,
            MarshalledObject<?> data,
            boolean restart,
            int port)Registers an activation descriptor (with the specified location,
 data, and restart mode) for the specified object, and exports that
 object with the specified port. | 
| static ActivationID | Activatable. exportObject(Remote obj,
            String location,
            MarshalledObject<?> data,
            boolean restart,
            int port,
            RMIClientSocketFactory csf,
            RMIServerSocketFactory ssf)Registers an activation descriptor (with the specified location,
 data, and restart mode) for the specified object, and exports that
 object with the specified port, and the specified client and server
 socket factories. | 
| protected ActivationID | Activatable. getID()Returns the object's activation identifier. | 
| ActivationID | ActivationSystem. registerObject(ActivationDesc desc)The  registerObjectmethod is used to register an
 activation descriptor,desc, and obtain an
 activation identifier for a activatable remote object. | 
| Modifier and Type | Method and Description | 
|---|---|
| MarshalledObject<? extends Remote> | Activator. activate(ActivationID id,
        boolean force)Activate the object associated with the activation identifier,
  id. | 
| protected void | ActivationGroup. activeObject(ActivationID id,
            MarshalledObject<? extends Remote> mobj)This protected method is necessary for subclasses to
 make the  activeObjectcallback to the group's
 monitor. | 
| void | ActivationMonitor. activeObject(ActivationID id,
            MarshalledObject<? extends Remote> obj)Informs that an object is now active. | 
| abstract void | ActivationGroup. activeObject(ActivationID id,
            Remote obj)The group's  activeObjectmethod is called when an
 object is exported (either byActivatableobject
 construction or an explicit call toActivatable.exportObject. | 
| static Remote | Activatable. exportObject(Remote obj,
            ActivationID id,
            int port)Export the activatable remote object to the RMI runtime to make
 the object available to receive incoming calls. | 
| static Remote | Activatable. exportObject(Remote obj,
            ActivationID id,
            int port,
            RMIClientSocketFactory csf,
            RMIServerSocketFactory ssf)Export the activatable remote object to the RMI runtime to make
 the object available to receive incoming calls. | 
| ActivationDesc | ActivationSystem. getActivationDesc(ActivationID id)Returns the activation descriptor, for the object with the activation
 identifier,  id. | 
| static boolean | Activatable. inactive(ActivationID id)Informs the system that the object with the corresponding activation
  idis currently inactive. | 
| boolean | ActivationGroup. inactiveObject(ActivationID id)The group's  inactiveObjectmethod is called
 indirectly via a call to theActivatable.inactivemethod. | 
| void | ActivationMonitor. inactiveObject(ActivationID id)An activation group calls its monitor's
  inactiveObjectmethod when an object in its group
 becomes inactive (deactivates). | 
| MarshalledObject | ActivationGroup_Stub. newInstance(ActivationID id,
           ActivationDesc desc)Stub method for  ActivationGroup.newInstance. | 
| MarshalledObject<? extends Remote> | ActivationInstantiator. newInstance(ActivationID id,
           ActivationDesc desc)The activator calls an instantiator's  newInstancemethod in order to recreate in that group an object with the
 activation identifier,id, and descriptor,desc. | 
| ActivationDesc | ActivationSystem. setActivationDesc(ActivationID id,
                 ActivationDesc desc)Set the activation descriptor,  descfor the object with
 the activation identifier,id. | 
| static void | Activatable. unregister(ActivationID id)Revokes previous registration for the activation descriptor
 associated with  id. | 
| void | ActivationSystem. unregisterObject(ActivationID id)Remove the activation id and associated descriptor previously
 registered with the  ActivationSystem; the object
 can no longer be activated via the object's activation id. | 
| Constructor and Description | 
|---|
| Activatable(ActivationID id,
           int port)Constructor used to activate/export the object on a specified
 port. | 
| Activatable(ActivationID id,
           int port,
           RMIClientSocketFactory csf,
           RMIServerSocketFactory ssf)Constructor used to activate/export the object on a specified
 port. |
