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 are 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 re-created after a new registry is
started.
