Java Enterprise in a Nutshell, Second Edition

Name

LocateRegistry

Synopsis

This is a low-level interface to an RMI registry service, residing either on the local host or on remote servers. On lookups, the Naming service parses the host and port from the remote object URL and uses the LocateRegistry interface to connect to the remote registry. The various getRegistry() methods provide the means to get a reference to the local registry, or a stub to a remote registry running on a given host and port. The createRegistry() methods create a registry running on the local host on the given port number. The second form of the createRegistry() method allows you to specify custom socket factories to be used by the registry when it communicates with clients and server objects.
