Provided it's used via com.sun.jini.start.ActivateWrapper it'll be ok.
NonActivatableServiceDescriptor also had to be modified to call the Starter.
Cheers,
Peter.

Gregg,
You may be right. I'm curious, does anyone actually ever uses activation?

I don't think this will work with activation because the proxy is not what is
returned in that case. It may be necessary to look at doing something in
Phoenix as well, if we keep activation around.

Looking around briefly, it seems that there is a not so great set of returned
values from ServiceDescriptor.create() with activation returning the RMI GID.
So a little more work to wrap everything into something implementing an
interface with lifecycle management in it would be required.

I'd like to add a start() method to OutriggerImpl, so I can delay any threads
from being started until after construction is complete.
This is required for safe publication to comply with the JMM.
Before doing so, I'd like to know how people are using Outrigger, so I can
minimise unintended consequences / breakages.
Comments, opinions and thoughts?
