  1. The RMI Registry CS-328 Dick Steflik

  2. The registry • A standalone RMI Naming Service • run from the OS commandline • The java.rmi.registry package • defines the low level API for the registry and the registry interface and its methods. • bind(), rebind(), list() and unbind() • Can be used to find or create a registry

  3. LocateRegistry • Java.rmi.registry.LocateRegistry class • used to get a handle on a registry that can then be queried using registry interface methods Registry r = java.rmi.registry.LocateRegistry.getRegistry(“www.foo.com”); MyRemoteObject o = (MyRemoteObject)r.lookup(“MyClass”); - MyClass is not treated as a URL, it is the name of the that the object being queried - getRegistry returns a reference to an instance of a registry running on the remote system

  4. Example Registry reg; MyRemoteObject ro; try { ro = new MyRemoteObject(); // get a handle on the local registry server reg = java.rmi.registry.LocateRegistry.getRegistry(); // bind the object to the registry reg.bind(“MyObject”, ro); } catch ( RemoteException e ) {out.println(“Couldn’t locate registry”); } catch ( AccessException e ) { // registry didn’t allow access out.println(“rebind(), access was denied”); }

  5. Implementing the registry interface • Can be started only on the machine that is hosting the application • should be used with ports above 1024 • use createRegistry method of java.rmi.registry.LocateRegistry class

  6. Example Registry reg; // start up a registry object try { reg = java.rmi.registry.LocateRegistry.createRegistry(5100); } catch (RemoteException e { out.ptintln(“Couldn’t create registry, try another port”); } // create an object and register it try { MyRemoteObject ro = new MyRemoteObject(); reg.rebind(“MyObject” , ro ); } catch (RemoteException e) { out.println(“error creating remote object or binding to registry”); } catch (AccessException ax) { out.println(“ operation rebind, not allowed”); }

  7. Example (cont.) // print a list of all objects bound to the registry String list[ ]; try { // get a list of the object names list = reg.list(); } catch (RemoteException rx) { out.println(“list method failed”);} catch (AccessException ax) { out.println(“Access denied”); } // print the list for (int j=0 ; j < list.length; j++) out.println( list[j]);
