The activator calls an instantiator's
newInstance method in order to recreate in that group an object with the
activation identifier,
id, and descriptor,
desc. The instantiator is responsible for:
- determining the class for the object using the descriptor's
getClassName method,
- loading the class from the code location obtained from the
descriptor (using the getLocation method),
- creating an instance of the class by invoking the special
"activation" constructor of the object's class that takes two
arguments: the object's ActivationID, and the
MarshalledObject containing object specific
initialization data, and
- returning a MarshalledObject containing the stub for the
remote object it created
Returns:
a marshalled object containing the serialized
representation of remote object's stub
Parameters:
-
id - the object's activation identifier
-
desc - the object's descriptor
Throws:
-
ActivationException - if object activation fails
-
RemoteException - if remote call fails
