42 * An <code>ActivationGroup</code> is responsible for creating new
43 * instances of "activatable" objects in its group, informing its
44 * <code>ActivationMonitor</code> when either: its object's become
45 * active or inactive, or the group as a whole becomes inactive. <p>
46 *
47 * An <code>ActivationGroup</code> is <i>initially</i> created in one
48 * of several ways: <ul>
49 * <li>as a side-effect of creating an <code>ActivationDesc</code>
50 * without an explicit <code>ActivationGroupID</code> for the
51 * first activatable object in the group, or
52 * <li>via the <code>ActivationGroup.createGroup</code> method
53 * <li>as a side-effect of activating the first object in a group
54 * whose <code>ActivationGroupDesc</code> was only registered.</ul><p>
55 *
56 * Only the activator can <i>recreate</i> an
57 * <code>ActivationGroup</code>. The activator spawns, as needed, a
58 * separate VM (as a child process, for example) for each registered
59 * activation group and directs activation requests to the appropriate
60 * group. It is implementation specific how VMs are spawned. An
61 * activation group is created via the
62 * <code>ActivationGroup.createGroup</code> static method. The
63 * <code>createGroup</code> method has two requirements on the group
64 * to be created: 1) the group must be a concrete subclass of
65 * <code>ActivationGroup</code>, and 2) the group must have a
66 * constructor that takes two arguments:
67 *
68 * <ul>
69 * <li> the group's <code>ActivationGroupID</code>, and
70 * <li> the group's initialization data (in a
71 * <code>java.rmi.MarshalledObject</code>)</ul><p>
72 *
73 * When created, the default implementation of
74 * <code>ActivationGroup</code> will override the system properties
75 * with the properties requested when its
76 * <code>ActivationGroupDesc</code> was created, and will set a
77 * <code>java.rmi.RMISecurityManager</code> as the default system
78 * security manager. If your application requires specific properties
79 * to be set when objects are activated in the group, the application
80 * should create a special <code>Properties</code> object containing
81 * these properties, then create an <code>ActivationGroupDesc</code>
82 * with the <code>Properties</code> object, and use
83 * <code>ActivationGroup.createGroup</code> before creating any
84 * <code>ActivationDesc</code>s (before the default
85 * <code>ActivationGroupDesc</code> is created). If your application
86 * requires the use of a security manager other than
87 * <code>java.rmi.RMISecurityManager</code>, in the
88 * ActivativationGroupDescriptor properties list you can set
89 * <code>java.security.manager</code> property to the name of the security
90 * manager you would like to install.
