Hi Chan.
It means that you have a GUI for the server. I personaly haven't implemented any GUI in the server. Think it for a while, the server can be a Linux box running only in text mode and this way your server doesn't work.
Make the server as a console application and don't even bother of how to stop it gracefully. Ctrl+C is enough to stop the server.

Jofer -
My implementation does use a server GUI so that the user can enter the needed configuration parameters. I have a start button on the panel that accepts configuration. Then I pull up a panel that just displays the config information and has a Stop Button. The Stop Button does basically as Miguel says, just stops the program (not much different than Control-C). It may eventually unbind my RMI object, but I'm not into the RMI stuff yet.
For my specs I felt a server GUI was needed to collect the config info and have it persist. However, that just depends on the specs. I know that some of the old assignments allow command line parameters while mine doesn't. If you can have command line parameters I could see not needing a server GUI.
There are some past posts on stopping the RMI server but I don't have them handy right now to include URLS. You could do a search on this forum - try "stop rmi", "stop registry", or just "registry" and you should be able to turn up something. There are also a lot of posts concerning server GUI if you look.
Good luck.
