/**
 * Activation makes use of special identifiers to denote remote
 * objects that can be activated over time. An activation identifier
 * (an instance of the class <code>ActivationID</code>) contains several
 * pieces of information needed for activating an object:
 * <ul>
 * <li> a remote reference to the object's activator (a {@link
 * java.rmi.server.RemoteRef RemoteRef}
 * instance), and
 * <li> a unique identifier (a {@link java.rmi.server.UID UID}
 * instance) for the object. </ul> <p>
 *
 * An activation identifier for an object can be obtained by registering
 * an object with the activation system. Registration is accomplished
 * in a few ways: <ul>
 * <li>via the <code>Activatable.register</code> method
 * <li>via the first <code>Activatable</code> constructor (that takes
 * three arguments and both registers and exports the object, and
 * <li>via the first <code>Activatable.exportObject</code> method
 * that takes the activation descriptor, object and port as arguments;
 * this method both registers and exports the object. </ul>
