ActivationID JDK 1.6)

Description

public class ActivationID

Activation makes use of special identifiers to denote remote objects that can be activated over time.

Activation makes use of special identifiers to denote remote objects that can be activated over time. An activation identifier (an instance of the class ActivationID) contains several pieces of information needed for activating an object:

a remote reference to the object's activator (a RemoteRef instance), and
a unique identifier (a UID instance) for the object.

An activation identifier for an object can be obtained by registering an object with the activation system. Registration is accomplished in a few ways:

via the Activatable.register method
via the first Activatable constructor (that takes three arguments and both registers and exports the object, and
via the first Activatable.exportObject method that takes the activation descriptor, object and port as arguments; this method both registers and exports the object.
