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  cur-
       rent  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:

       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 provides 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 registry 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.
