ActivationGroupDesc

public final class ActivationGroupDesc extends Object implements Serializable
An activation group descriptor contains the information necessary to create/recreate an activation group in which to activate objects. Such a descriptor contains:
  • the group's class name,
  • the group's code location (the location of the group's class), and
  • a "marshalled" object that can contain group specific initialization data.

The group's class must be a concrete subclass of ActivationGroup. A subclass of ActivationGroup is created/recreated via the ActivationGroup.createGroup static method that invokes a special constructor that takes two arguments:

  • the group's ActivationGroupID, and
  • the group's initialization data (in a java.rmi.MarshalledObject)

Constructors Summary
public ActivationGroupDesc(Properties overrides, CommandEnvironment cmd)
Constructs a group descriptor that uses the system defaults for group implementation and code location. Properties specify Java environment overrides (which will override system properties in the group implementation's VM). The command environment can control the exact command/options used in starting the child VM, or can be null to accept rmid's default.

This constructor will create an ActivationGroupDesc with a null group class name, which indicates the system's default ActivationGroup implementation.

param
overrides the set of properties to set when the group is recreated.
param
cmd the controlling options for executing the VM in another process (or null).

public ActivationGroupDesc(String className, String location, MarshalledObject data, Properties overrides, CommandEnvironment cmd)
Specifies an alternate group implementation and execution environment to be used for the group.

param
className the group's package qualified class name or null. A null group class name indicates the system's default ActivationGroup implementation.
param
location the location from where to load the group's class
param
data the group's initialization data contained in marshalled form (could contain properties, for example)
param
overrides a properties map which will override those set by default in the subprocess environment (will be translated into -D options), or null.
param
cmd the controlling options for executing the VM in another process (or null).

Methods Summary
public booleanequals(java.lang.Object obj)
