/**
 * An activation descriptor contains the information necessary to
 * activate an object: <ul>
 * <li> the object's group identifier,
 * <li> the object's fully-qualified class name,
 * <li> the object's code location (the location of the class), a codebase URL
 * path,
 * <li> the object's restart "mode", and,
 * <li> a "marshalled" object that can contain object specific
 * initialization data. </ul>
 *
 * <p>A descriptor registered with the activation system can be used to
 * recreate/activate the object specified by the descriptor. The
 * <code>MarshalledObject</code> in the object's descriptor is passed
 * as the second argument to the remote object's constructor for
 * object to use during reinitialization/activation.
