The Activation System

The com.sssw.jbroker.api.activation.ActivationSystem is the API to the ORB's server activation functionality.

The ActivationSystem object runs inside jorbd, the ORB Daemon. It can be accessed using the orb.resolve_initial_reference API or the Initial References Service (IRS).

   ActivationSystem system = (ActivationSystem)
      orb.resolve_initial_references("ActivationSystem");

The jorbd by default runs on port number 2506.
