ActivationMonitor (Java Platform SE 6)

This documentation differs from the official API. Jadeite adds extra features to the API including: variable font sizes, constructions examples, placeholders for classes and methods, and auto-generated “See Also” links. Additionally it is missing some items found in standard Javadoc documentation, including: generics type information, “Deprecated” tags and comments, “See Also” links, along with other minor differences.

interface ActivationMonitor

All Superinterfaces:: Remote

public interface ActivationMonitor
extends Remote

An ActivationMonitor is specific to an ActivationGroup and is obtained when a group is reported active via a call to ActivationSystem.activeGroup (this is done internally). An activation group is responsible for informing its ActivationMonitor when either: its objects become active or inactive, or the group as a whole becomes inactive.

Method Summary
`void`	`activeObject(ActivationID id, MarshalledObject obj)` Informs that an object is now active.
`void`	`inactiveGroup(ActivationGroupID id, long incarnation)` Informs that the group is now inactive.
`void`	`inactiveObject(ActivationID id)` An activation group calls its monitor's `inactiveObject` method when an object in its group becomes inactive (deactivates).

Method Detail

activeObject

public void activeObject(ActivationID id,
                         MarshalledObject obj)
                  throws UnknownObjectException,
                         RemoteException

Informs that an object is now active. An ActivationGroup informs its monitor if an object in its group becomes active by other means than being activated directly (i.e., the object is registered and "activated" itself).

Parameters:: id - the active object's id; obj - the marshalled form of the object's stub
Throws:: UnknownObjectException - if object is unknown; RemoteException - if remote call fails

inactiveGroup

public void inactiveGroup(ActivationGroupID id,
                          long incarnation)
                   throws UnknownGroupException,
                          RemoteException

Informs that the group is now inactive. The group will be recreated upon a subsequent request to activate an object within the group. A group becomes inactive when all objects in the group report that they are inactive.

Parameters:: id - the group's id; incarnation - the group's incarnation number
Throws:: UnknownGroupException - if group is unknown; RemoteException - if remote call fails

inactiveObject

public void inactiveObject(ActivationID id)
                    throws UnknownObjectException,
                           RemoteException

An activation group calls its monitor's inactiveObject method when an object in its group becomes inactive (deactivates). An activation group discovers that an object (that it participated in activating) in its VM is no longer active, via calls to the activation group's inactiveObject method.

The inactiveObject call informs the ActivationMonitor that the remote object reference it holds for the object with the activation identifier, id, is no longer valid. The monitor considers the reference associated with id as a stale reference. Since the reference is considered stale, a subsequent activate call for the same activation identifier results in re-activating the remote object.

Parameters:: id - the object's activation identifier
Throws:: UnknownObjectException - if object is unknown; RemoteException - if remote call fails
