java.rmi.activation

Class Activatable

Implemented Interfaces:
Remote, Serializable
public abstract class Activatable
extends RemoteServer
A common ancestor for the implementations of the activatable objects. Such objects require persistent access over time and can be activated by the system. The derived classes also implements the needed interface of some remote object and usually have the two parameter constructor, the first parameter being the ActivationID and the second the MarshalledObject. Activatable is the main class that developers need to use to implement and manage activatable objects. It also contains methods for making activatable remote objects that are not derived from the Activatable class.

Activatable

protected Activatable(String codebase,
                      MarshalledObject data,
                      boolean restart,
                      int port)
            throws ActivationException,
                   RemoteException
This constructor is used to register export the object on the given port. A subclass of the Activatable class calls this constructor to register and export the object during initial construction. As a side-effect of activatable object construction, the remote object is both "registered" with the activation system and "exported" (on an anonymous port, if port is zero) to the RMI runtime so that it is available to accept incoming calls from clients.
Parameters:
codebase - the object code base url
data - the data, needed to activate the object.
restart - specifies reactivation mode after crash. If true, the object is activated when activator is restarted or the activation group is restarted. If false, the object is only activated on demand. This flag does has no effect during the normal operation (the object is normally activated on demand).
port - the port, on which the object will become available. The value 0 means anonymous port.
Throws:
ActivationException - if the activation failed
RemoteException - if the remote call failed.

Activatable

                      int port,
                      RMIClientSocketFactory csf,
                      RMIServerSocketFactory ssf)
            throws ActivationException,
                   RemoteException
This constructor is used to register export the object on the given port, additionally specifying the socket factories. A subclass of the Activatable class calls this constructor to register and export the object during initial construction.
Parameters:
codebase - the object code base url
data - the data, needed to activate the object.
restart - specifies reactivation mode after crash. If true, the object is activated when activator is restarted or the activation group is restarted. If false, the object is only activated on demand. This flag does has no effect during the normal operation (the object is normally activated on demand).
port - the port, on which the object will become available. The value 0 means anonymous port.
csf - the client socket factory
ssf - the server socket factory
Throws:
ActivationException - if the activation failed
RemoteException - if the remote call failed.

Activatable

protected Activatable(ActivationID anId,
                      int port)
            throws RemoteException
Creates the new instance of activatable with the given activation id and is listening at the given port. A subclass of the Activatable class calls this constructor when the object itself is activated via its special "activation" constructor with the two parameters (ActivationID, MarshalledObject). As a side effect, the object is exported and is available to accept incoming calls.
Parameters:
anId - the activation id
port - the port, on which the activatable will be listening
Throws:
RemoteException - if the activation failed.

                      RMIServerSocketFactory ssf)
            throws RemoteException
Creates the new instance of activatable with the given activation id and is listening at the given port, using the specified client and server sockets factories. A subclass of the Activatable class calls this constructor when the object itself is activated via its special "activation" constructor with the two parameters (ActivationID, MarshalledObject). As a side effect, the object is exported and is available to accept incoming calls.
Parameters:
