Name
       rmiregistry - The Java Remote Object Registry

          The  rmiregistry  command  starts a remote object registry on the specified port on the
          current host.


SYNOPSIS
       rmiregistry [port]


DESCRIPTION
       The rmiregistry command creates and starts a remote object registry on the specified  port
       on the current host. If port is omitted, the registry is started on port 1099. The rmireg‐
       istry command produces no output and is typically run in the background. For example:

       rmiregistry &

       A remote object registry is a bootstrap naming service that is used by RMI servers on  the
       same host to bind remote objects to names. Clients on local and remote hosts 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 will provide application-specific support for
       finding other objects.

       The methods of the java.rmi.registry.LocateRegistry class are used to get a registry oper‐
       ating on the local host or local host and port.

       The  URL-based  methods of the java.rmi.Naming class operate on a registry and can be used
       to look up a remote object on any host, and on the local host: 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.

OPTIONS
          -J Used in conjunction with any java option, it passes the option following the -J  (no
             spaces between the -J and the option) on to the java interpreter.
