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.
For more information on RMI activation systems, see the Activation Tutorial
