DESCRIPTION

17       The rmiregistry command creates and starts a remote object registry  on
18       the  specified  port  on the current host. If port is omitted, the reg‐
19       istry is started on port 1099. The rmiregistry command produces no out‐
20       put and is typically run in the background. For example:

24       A  remote object registry is a bootstrap naming service that is used by
25       RMI servers on the same host to bind remote objects to  names.  Clients
26       on  local  and  remote  hosts  can then look up remote objects and make
27       remote method invocations.
28
29       The registry is typically used to locate the  first  remote  object  on
30       which  an application needs to invoke methods. That object in turn will
31       provide application-specific support for finding other objects.
32
33       The methods of the java.rmi.registry.LocateRegistry class are  used  to
34       get a registry operating on the local host or local host and port.
35
36       The  URL-based  methods  of the java.rmi.Naming class operate on a reg‐
37       istry and can be used to look up a remote object on any  host,  and  on
38       the  local host: bind a simple (string) name to a remote object, rebind
39       a new name to a remote object (overriding the old  binding),  unbind  a
40       remote object, and list the URLs bound in the registry.

OPTIONS

43          -J Used  in  conjunction  with any java option, it passes the option
44             following the -J (no spaces between the -J and the option) on  to
45             the java interpreter.
