How can I start an RMI server on demand?

Re: How can I start an RMI server on demand? The Java RMI activation API (java.rmi.activation) enables you to make your RMI objects to activate on demand. It is IMHO not the most pleasant API to work with, and you will need to run the rmid daemon on the server that will handle the activation for you.
