Activate the object associated with the activation identifier,

id. If the activator knows the object to be active

already, and force is false , the stub with a

"live" reference is returned immediately to the caller;

otherwise, if the activator does not know that corresponding

the remote object is active, the activator uses the activation

descriptor information (previously registered) to determine the

group (VM) in which the object should be activated. If an

ActivationInstantiator corresponding to the

object's group descriptor already exists, the activator invokes

the activation group's newInstance method passing

it the object's id and descriptor.

If the activation group for the object's group descriptor does

not yet exist, the activator starts an

ActivationInstantiator executing (by spawning a

child process, for example). When the activator receives the

activation group's call back (via the

ActivationSystem's activeGroup

method) specifying the activation group's reference, the

activator can then invoke that activation instantiator's

newInstance method to forward each pending

activation request to the activation group and return the

result (a marshalled remote object reference, a stub) to the

caller.

Note that the activator receives a "marshalled" object instead of a

Remote object so that the activator does not need to load the

code for that object, or participate in distributed garbage

collection for that object. If the activator kept a strong

reference to the remote object, the activator would then

prevent the object from being garbage collected under the

normal distributed garbage collection mechanism.
