public interface ActivationSystem
extends Remote
```
The ActivationSystem provides a means for registering groups and "activatable" objects to be activated within those groups. The ActivationSystem works closely with the Activator, which activates objects registered via the ActivationSystem, and the ActivationMonitor, which obtains information about active and inactive objects, and inactive groups.

ActivationID registerObject(ActivationDesc desc)
                            throws ActivationException,
                                   UnknownGroupException,
                                   RemoteException
```
    The registerObject method is used to register an activation descriptor, desc, and obtain an activation identifier for a activatable remote object. The ActivationSystem creates an ActivationID (a activation identifier) for the object specified by the descriptor, desc, and records, in stable storage, the activation descriptor and its associated identifier for later use. When the Activator receives an activate request for a specific identifier, it looks up the activation descriptor (registered previously) for the specified identifier and uses that information to activate the object.
    
    Parameters:
    desc - the object's activation descriptor
    
    Returns:
    the activation id that can be used to activate the object
    
    Throws:
    
    ActivationException - if registration fails (e.g., database update failure, etc).
    
    UnknownGroupException - if group referred to in desc is not registered with this system
    
    RemoteException - if remote call fails
    Since:
    
    1.2
  - unregisterObject
```
void unregisterObject(ActivationID id)
                      throws ActivationException,
                             UnknownObjectException,
                             RemoteException
```
    Remove the activation id and associated descriptor previously registered with the ActivationSystem; the object can no longer be activated via the object's activation id.
    
    Parameters:
    id - the object's activation id (from previous registration)
    
    Throws:
    
    ActivationException - if unregister fails (e.g., database update failure, etc).
    
    UnknownObjectException - if object is unknown (not registered)
    
    RemoteException - if remote call fails
    Since:
    
    1.2
  - registerGroup
```
ActivationGroupID registerGroup(ActivationGroupDesc desc)

                                       RemoteException
```
    Register the activation group. An activation group must be registered with the ActivationSystem before objects can be registered within that group.
    
    Parameters:
    desc - the group's descriptor
    
    Returns:
    an identifier for the group
    
    Throws:
    
    ActivationException - if group registration fails
    
    RemoteException - if remote call fails

ActivationMonitor activeGroup(ActivationGroupID id,
                            ActivationInstantiator group,
                            long incarnation)
                              throws UnknownGroupException,
                                     ActivationException,
                                     RemoteException
```
    Callback to inform activation system that group is now active. This call is made internally by the ActivationGroup.createGroup method to inform the ActivationSystem that the group is now active.
    
    Parameters:
    id - the activation group's identifier
    group - the group's instantiator
    incarnation - the group's incarnation number
    
    Returns:
    monitor for activation group
    
    Throws:
    
    UnknownGroupException - if group is not registered
    
    ActivationException - if a group for the specified id is already active and that group is not equal to the specified group or that group has a different incarnation than the specified group
    
    RemoteException - if remote call fails
    Since:
    
    1.2
  - unregisterGroup
```
void unregisterGroup(ActivationGroupID id)
                     throws ActivationException,
                            UnknownGroupException,
                            RemoteException
```
    Remove the activation group. An activation group makes this call back to inform the activator that the group should be removed (destroyed). If this call completes successfully, objects can no longer be registered or activated within the group. All information of the group and its associated objects is removed from the system.
    
    Parameters:
    id - the activation group's identifier
    
    Throws:
    
    ActivationException - if unregister fails (e.g., database update failure, etc).
    
    UnknownGroupException - if group is not registered
    
    RemoteException - if remote call fails
    Since:
    
    1.2
  - shutdown
```
void shutdown()
              throws RemoteException
```
    Shutdown the activation system. Destroys all groups spawned by the activation daemon and exits the activation daemon.
    
    Throws:
    
    RemoteException - if failed to contact/shutdown the activation daemon
    Since:
    
    1.2
  - setActivationDesc
```
ActivationDesc setActivationDesc(ActivationID id,
