Name

AlreadyBoundException

Where thrown

By the RMI registry.

When thrown

Usually during launching, when the launch code attempts to bind the server into the registry.

Why thrown

The server code used bind( ) and the name was already taken.

What it means

This usually indicates a configuration error, that an instance of the server was already running, or a coding mistake (you meant to use rebind( )). In any of these cases, you probably need to clean out the registry.
