Method Detail

newInstance

public MarshalledObject newInstance(ActivationID id,
                                    ActivationDesc desc) throws ActivationException, RemoteException

The activator calls an instantiator's newInstance method in order to recreate in that group an object with the activation identifier, id, and descriptor, desc. The instantiator is responsible for:

• determining the class for the object using the descriptor's getClassName method,
• loading the class from the CodeSource obtained from the descriptor (using the getCodeSource method),
• creating an instance of the class by invoking the special "activation" constructor of the object's class that takes two arguments: the object's ActivationID, and the MarshalledObject containing object specific initialization data, and
• returning a MarshalledObject containing the stub for the remote object it created

  Parameters:

  id - the object's activation identifier

  desc - the object's descriptor

  Returns:

  a marshalled object containing the serialized representation of remote object's stub

  Throws:

  ActivationException - if object activation fails

  RemoteException - if remote call fails
