/**
* An <code>ActivationGroup</code> is responsible for creating new
* instances of "activatable" objects in its group, informing its
* <code>ActivationMonitor</code> when either: its object's become
* active or inactive, or the group as a whole becomes inactive. <p>
*
* An <code>ActivationGroup</code> is <i>initially</i> created in one
* of several ways: <ul>
* <li>as a side-effect of creating an <code>ActivationDesc</code>
* without an explicit <code>ActivationGroupID</code> for the
* first activatable object in the group, or
* <li>via the <code>ActivationGroup.createGroup</code> method
* <li>as a side-effect of activating the first object in a group
* whose <code>ActivationGroupDesc</code> was only registered.</ul><p>
*
* Only the activator can <i>recreate</i> an
* <code>ActivationGroup</code>. The activator spawns, as needed, a
* separate VM (as a child process, for example) for each registered
* activation group and directs activation requests to the appropriate
* group. It is implementation specific how VMs are spawned. An
* activation group is created via the
* <code>ActivationGroup.createGroup</code> static method. The
* <code>createGroup</code> method has two requirements on the group
* to be created: 1) the group must be a concrete subclass of
* <code>ActivationGroup</code>, and 2) the group must have a
* constructor that takes two arguments:
*
* <ul>
* <li> the group's <code>ActivationGroupID</code>, and
* <li> the group's initialization data (in a
* <code>java.rmi.MarshalledObject</code>)</ul><p>
*
* When created, the default implementation of
* <code>ActivationGroup</code> will override the system properties
* with the properties requested when its
* <code>ActivationGroupDesc</code> was created, and will set a
* <code>java.rmi.RMISecurityManager</code> as the default system
* security manager. If your application requires specific properties
* to be set when objects are activated in the group, the application
* should create a special <code>Properties</code> object containing
* these properties, then create an <code>ActivationGroupDesc</code>
* with the <code>Properties</code> object, and use
* <code>ActivationGroup.createGroup</code> before creating any
* <code>ActivationDesc</code>s (before the default
* <code>ActivationGroupDesc</code> is created). If your application
* requires the use of a security manager other than
* <code>java.rmi.RMISecurityManager</code>, in the
* ActivativationGroupDescriptor properties list you can set
* <code>java.security.manager</code> property to the name of the security
* manager you would like to install.

* An activation group is set using the <code>createGroup</code>
* method when the <code>Activator</code> initiates the

* incoming <code>activate</code> requests. A group must first be
* registered with the <code>ActivationSystem</code> before it can

*
* <p>The group class specified by the

* group's initialization data (obtained from the
* <code>ActivationGroupDesc</code>.
*
* <p>If the group class name specified in the
* <code>ActivationGroupDesc</code> is <code>null</code>, then
* this method will behave as if the group descriptor contained
* the name of the default activation group implementation class.
*
* <p>Note that if your application creates its own custom
* activation group, a security manager must be set for that
* group. Otherwise objects cannot be activated in the group.
* <code>java.rmi.RMISecurityManager</code> is set by default.
*
* <p>If a security manager is already set in the group VM, this
* method first calls the security manager's
* <code>checkSetFactory</code> method. This could result in a
* <code>SecurityException</code>. If your application needs to
* set a different security manager, you must ensure that the
* policy file specified by the group's
* <code>ActivationGroupDesc</code> grants the group the necessary
* permissions to set a new security manager. (Note: This will be
* necessary if your group downloads and sets a security manager).
*
* <p>After the group is created, the
* <code>ActivationSystem</code> is informed that the group is
* active by calling the <code>activeGroup</code> method which
* returns the <code>ActivationMonitor</code> for the group. The
* application need not call <code>activeGroup</code>
* independently since it is taken care of by this method.
