  27  * Provides support for RMI Object Activation.  A remote
  28  * object's reference can be made ``persistent'' and later activated into a
  29  * ``live'' object using the RMI activation mechanism.
  30  *
  31  * <p>Implementations are not required to support the activation
  32  * mechanism. If activation is not supported by this implementation,
  33  * several specific activation API methods are all required to throw
  34  * {@code UnsupportedOperationException}. If activation is supported by this
  35  * implementation, these methods must never throw {@code
  36  * UnsupportedOperationException}. These methods are denoted by the
  37  * presence of an entry for {@code UnsupportedOperationException} in the
  38  * <strong>Throws</strong> section of each method's specification.
  39  *
  40  * @since 1.2
