DESCRIPTION

17       The rmiregistry command creates and starts a remote object registry on
18       the specified port on the current host. If the port is omitted, then
19       the registry is started on port 1099. The rmiregistry command produces
20       no output and is typically run in the background, for example:

22       rmiregistry &

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 call methods. That object then provides
31       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
37       registry and can be used to look up a remote object on any host and on
38       the local host. Bind a simple name (string) 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 URL bound in the registry.

46              interpreter.
