A remote object registry is a bootstrap naming service which 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 will provide 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.
