Name
rmiregistry: The Java RMI Object Registry — JDK 1.1 and later
Synopsis
rmiregistry [ port
]
Description
The
rmiregistry
command starts a remote object
naming registry on the current host. The RMI registry binds remote
objects to names, so that remote clients can request object
references by name. It uses the object references to invoke methods.
Internally, the rmiregistry
command uses the
java.rmi.registry.LocateRegistry
class to
instantiate a registry object. If no port is provided, the default
port for the registry is 1099. Typically, the registry is run in the
background on a server and remains running for the lifetime of the
objects it contains. If the registry crashes, and the registry is
running in a separate Java VM from the actual remote objects, the
remote objects is still available over RMI, and any remote references
to these objects that existed before the crash are still valid.
However, all the name bindings the objects had in the registry are
lost and need to be recreated after a new registry is started.
