/**

 * Provides support for RMI Object Activation.  A remote

 * object's reference can be made ``persistent'' and later activated into a

 * ``live'' object using the RMI activation mechanism.

 *

 * <p>Implementations are not required to support the activation

 * mechanism. If activation is not supported by this implementation,

 * several specific activation API methods are all required to throw

 * {@code UnsupportedOperationException}. If activation is supported by this

 * implementation, these methods must never throw {@code

 * UnsupportedOperationException}. These methods are denoted by the

 * presence of an entry for {@code UnsupportedOperationException} in the

 * <strong>Throws</strong> section of each method's specification.

 *

 * @since 1.2
