The RMI Activation Browser enables you to work with an activatable object and to obtain control over a particular activation system.
RMI Activation enables objects to start execution on an as-needed basis. When an activatable remote object is accessed via a method invocation, the system initiates the object's execution inside an appropriate JVM, if that remote object is not currently executing.
