- - ### Uses of MarshalledObject in java.rmi.activation

    Methods in java.rmi.activation that return MarshalledObject
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `MarshalledObject<? extends Remote>` | Activator.`activate(ActivationID id, boolean force)` Activate the object associated with the activation identifier, `id`.
    `MarshalledObject<?>` | ActivationGroupDesc.`getData()` Returns the group's initialization data.
    `MarshalledObject<?>` | ActivationDesc.`getData()` Returns a "marshalled object" containing intialization/activation data for the object specified by this descriptor.
    `MarshalledObject` | ActivationGroup_Stub.`newInstance(ActivationID id, ActivationDesc desc)` Stub method for `ActivationGroup.newInstance`.
    `MarshalledObject<? extends Remote>` | ActivationInstantiator.`newInstance(ActivationID id, ActivationDesc desc)` The activator calls an instantiator's `newInstance` method in order to recreate in that group an object with the activation identifier, `id`, and descriptor, `desc`.

    Methods in java.rmi.activation with parameters of type MarshalledObject
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `protected void` | ActivationGroup.`activeObject(ActivationID id, MarshalledObject<? extends Remote> mobj)` This protected method is necessary for subclasses to make the `activeObject` callback to the group's monitor.
    `void` | ActivationMonitor.`activeObject(ActivationID id, MarshalledObject<? extends Remote> obj)` Informs that an object is now active.
    `static ActivationID` | Activatable.`exportObject(Remote obj, String location, MarshalledObject<?> data, boolean restart, int port)` Registers an activation descriptor (with the specified location, data, and restart mode) for the specified object, and exports that object with the specified port.
    `static ActivationID` | Activatable.`exportObject(Remote obj, String location, MarshalledObject<?> data, boolean restart, int port, RMIClientSocketFactory csf, RMIServerSocketFactory ssf)` Registers an activation descriptor (with the specified location, data, and restart mode) for the specified object, and exports that object with the specified port, and the specified client and server socket factories.

    Constructors in java.rmi.activation with parameters of type MarshalledObject
    Constructor and Description
    `Activatable(String location, MarshalledObject<?> data, boolean restart, int port)` Constructs an activatable remote object by registering an activation descriptor (with the specified location, data, and restart mode) for this object, and exporting the object with the specified port.
    `Activatable(String location, MarshalledObject<?> data, boolean restart, int port, RMIClientSocketFactory csf, RMIServerSocketFactory ssf)` Constructs an activatable remote object by registering an activation descriptor (with the specified location, data, and restart mode) for this object, and exporting the object with the specified port, and specified client and server socket factories.
    `ActivationDesc(ActivationGroupID groupID, String className, String location, MarshalledObject<?> data)` Constructs an object descriptor for an object whose class name is `className` that can be loaded from the code `location` and whose initialization information is `data`.
    `ActivationDesc(ActivationGroupID groupID, String className, String location, MarshalledObject<?> data, boolean restart)` Constructs an object descriptor for an object whose class name is `className` that can be loaded from the code `location` and whose initialization information is `data`.
    `ActivationDesc(String className, String location, MarshalledObject<?> data)` Constructs an object descriptor for an object whose class name is `className`, that can be loaded from the code `location` and whose initialization information is `data`.
    `ActivationDesc(String className, String location, MarshalledObject<?> data, boolean restart)` Constructs an object descriptor for an object whose class name is `className`, that can be loaded from the code `location` and whose initialization information is `data`.
    `ActivationGroupDesc(String className, String location, MarshalledObject<?> data, Properties overrides, ActivationGroupDesc.CommandEnvironment cmd)` Specifies an alternate group implementation and execution environment to be used for the group.
