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 call methods. That object then 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 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 name (string)
to a remote object, rebind a new name to a remote object (overriding the old binding),
unbind a remote object, and list the URL bound in the registry.
