RMI registry - inside or out?

[David Duran]

Does anyone know of any pros/cons to starting the RMI registry from within my application as opposed to externally via the rmiregistry exectutable?

[Gopi Kishore]

Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
rt.exec("C:/jbuilder5/jdk1.3/bin/rmiregistry.exe");
Try these two steps putting in any class main method
Cheers

Here's another way:
Registry registry = LocateRegistry.createRegistry(); // default port
I use the below method to try and start rmid but to no success.
