public interface ActivationInstantiator extends Remote {

   
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.


In order for activation to be successful, one of the following requirements must be met, otherwise ActivationException is thrown: 
  • The class to be activated and the special activation constructor are both public, and the class resides in a package that is exported to at least the java.rmi module; or 
  • The class to be activated resides in a package that is open to at least the java.rmi module. 


Params:
  • id – the object's activation identifier
  • desc – the object's descriptor
Throws:
Returns:a marshalled object containing the serialized
representation of remote object's stub
