6.3 The RegistryHandler Interface

The interface RegistryHandler is used to interface to the private implementation.

package java.rmi.registry;

public interface RegistryHandler {

	Registry registryStub(String host, int port)
		throws java.rmi.RemoteException, 
		java.rmi.UnknownHostException;

	Registry registryImpl(int port) 
		throws java.rmi.RemoteException;
}

The method registryStub returns a stub for contacting a remote registry on the specified host and port.

The method registryImpl constructs and exports a registry on the specified port. The port must be nonzero.
