27 A remote object registry is a bootstrap naming service that's used by
28 RMI servers on the same host to bind remote objects to names. Clients
29 on local and remote hosts can then look up remote objects and make re‐
30 mote method invocations.
31
32 The registry is typically used to locate the first remote object on
33 which an application needs to call methods. That object then provides
34 application-specific support for finding other objects.
