+
+<body>
+In the previous Classpath releases, an instance of a UnicastRemoteObject
+could be accessed from a server that:
+<ul>
+<li>has created an instance of that object<li>
+<li>has been running <i>all<i> the time</li>
+</ul>
+<p>The the activation system allows to activate and execute the object
+implementation on demand rather than running all time. If the activation
+system is persistent, the server can be terminated and then restarted.
+The clients, still holding remote references to the server side
+activatable objects, will activate those objects again. The server side
+objects will be reinstantiated (activated) during the first call of any
+remote method of such object.
+</p><p>
+The RMI client code for activatable objects is no different than the code for
+accessing non-activatable remote objects. Activation is a server-side feature.
+</p><p>
+In order for an object to be activated, the "activatable" object class
+(independently if it extends the {@link Activatable} class or not) defines a
+special public constructor that takes two arguments, its activation identifier
+({@link ActivationID}) and its activation data ({@link java.rmi.MarshalledObject}),
+supplied in the activation descriptor used during registration. When an
+activation group activates a remote object, it constructs the object via
+this special constructor. The remote object implementation may use the
+activation data to initialize itself in a needed manner. The remote object may
+also retain its activation identifier, so that it can inform the activation
+group when it becomes inactive (via a call to the Activatable.inactive method).
