A remote object registry is a bootstrap naming service that is used by
RMI servers on a host to bind remote objects to names. Clients can
then look up remote objects and make remote method invocations.
The registry is typically used to locate the first remote object on
which an application needs to invoke methods. That object in turn pro‐
vides application-specific support for finding other objects.
The methods of the java.rmi.registry.LocateRegistry class are used to
get a registry operating on a particular host or host and port.
The URL-based methods of the java.rmi.Naming class operate on a reg‐
istry and can be used to look up a remote object, bind a simple
(string) name to a remote object, rebind a new name to a remote object
(overriding the old binding), unbind a remote object, and list the URLs
bound in the registry.
