NAME
       rmiregistry - Java remote object registry

SYNOPSIS
       rmiregistry [ port ] [ -Joption ]

DESCRIPTION
       The  Java(tm)  rmiregistry  command  creates and starts a remote object
       registry on the specified port on the current host.  If port number  is
       omitted, the registry is started on port 1099.  The rmiregistry command
       produces no output and is typically run in the background.   For  exam-
       ple:

              example%% rmiregistry &&

       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.

OPTIONS
       The following option is supported:

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