ActivationGroupDesc (Java 2 Platform SE 5.0) (original) (raw)

java.rmi.activation

Class ActivationGroupDesc

java.lang.Object java.rmi.activation.ActivationGroupDesc

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

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 ofActivationGroup. A subclass ofActivationGroup is created/recreated via theActivationGroup.createGroup static method that invokes a special constructor that takes two arguments:

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

Since:

1.2

ActivationGroupDesc

public ActivationGroupDesc(Properties overrides, ActivationGroupDesc.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.

Parameters:

overrides - the set of properties to set when the group is recreated.

cmd - the controlling options for executing the VM in another process (or null).

Since:

1.2

ActivationGroupDesc

public ActivationGroupDesc(String className, String location, MarshalledObject data, Properties overrides, ActivationGroupDesc.CommandEnvironment cmd)

Specifies an alternate group implementation and execution environment to be used for the group.

Parameters:

className - the group's package qualified class name ornull. A null group class name indicates the system's default ActivationGroup implementation.

location - the location from where to load the group's class

data - the group's initialization data contained in marshalled form (could contain properties, for example)

overrides - a properties map which will override those set by default in the subprocess environment (will be translated into -D options), or null.

cmd - the controlling options for executing the VM in another process (or null).

1.2

getClassName

public String getClassName()

Returns the group's class name (possibly null). Anull group class name indicates the system's defaultActivationGroup implementation.

Returns:

the group's class name

Since:

1.2

getLocation

public String getLocation()

Returns the group's code location.

Returns:

the group's code location

Since:

1.2

getData

public MarshalledObject getData()

Returns the group's initialization data.

Returns:

the group's initialization data

Since:

1.2

getPropertyOverrides

public Properties getPropertyOverrides()

Returns the group's property-override list.

Returns:

the property-override list, or null

Since:

1.2

getCommandEnvironment

public ActivationGroupDesc.CommandEnvironment getCommandEnvironment()

Returns the group's command-environment control object.

Returns:

the command-environment object, or null

Since:

1.2

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Compares two activation group descriptors for content equality.

Overrides:

[equals](../../../java/lang/Object.html#equals%28java.lang.Object%29) in class [Object](../../../java/lang/Object.html "class in java.lang")

Parameters:

obj - the Object to compare with

Returns:

true if these Objects are equal; false otherwise.

Since:

1.2

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Produce identical numbers for similar ActivationGroupDescs.

Overrides:

[hashCode](../../../java/lang/Object.html#hashCode%28%29) in class [Object](../../../java/lang/Object.html "class in java.lang")

Returns:

an integer
