## java.rmi.activation
Class ActivationGroupID

    java.lang.Object
      |
      +--java.rmi.activation.ActivationGroupID

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable

public class ActivationGroupID
extends Object
implements Serializable

The identifier for a registered activation group serves several purposes:

- identifies the group uniquely within the activation system, and
- contains a reference to the group's activation system so that the group can contact its activation system when necessary.

The `ActivationGroupID` is returned from the call to `ActivationSystem.registerGroup` and is used to identify the group within the activation system. This group id is passed as one of the arguments to the activation group's special constructor when an activation group is created/recreated.

Since:
  1.2
See Also:
  `ActivationGroup`, `ActivationGroupDesc`, Serialized Form

Constructor Summary
`ActivationGroupID(ActivationSystem system)` Constructs a unique group id.

Method Summary
`boolean` | `equals(Object obj)` Compares two group identifiers for content equality.
`ActivationSystem` | `getSystem()` Returns the group's activation system.
`int` | `hashCode()` Returns a hashcode for the group's identifier.

Constructor Detail

### ActivationGroupID

    public ActivationGroupID(ActivationSystem system)

  Constructs a unique group id.

Parameters:
  `system` - the group's activation system
Since:
  1.2

Method Detail

### getSystem

    public ActivationSystem getSystem()

  Returns the group's activation system.

  Returns:
    the group's activation system
  Since:
    1.2

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

  Returns a hashcode for the group's identifier. Two group identifiers that refer to the same remote group will have the same hash code.

  Overrides:
    `hashCode` in class `Object`
  Returns:
    a hash code value for this object.
  Since:
    1.2
  See Also:
    `Hashtable`

### equals

    public boolean equals(Object obj)

  Compares two group identifiers for content equality. Returns true if both of the following conditions are true: 1) the unique identifiers are equivalent (by content), and 2) the activation system specified in each refers to the same remote object.

  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `Object`
  Parameters:
    `obj` - the Object to compare with
  Returns:
    true if these Objects are equal; false otherwise.
  Since:
    1.2
