NX: RMI registry port ConnectException if not on 1099

[Jacques Bosch]

All works perfectly if I use port 1099.
But when I specify another port like:

// Start up a RMI registry.
LocateRegistry.createRegistry(1098);

I get a java.rmi.ConnectException.
Why? Are there only some ports that are valid for RMI?
I have tried a whole lot and havn't found another one that works.

Hi Jacques,

Check out the Java API for LocateRegistry.createRegistry and you'll see that it returns a Registry object. The Registry object returned is the registry that you need to reference from then on. For example:

Registry registry LocateRegistry.createRegistry(1098);
registry.bind(xxxx, xxxx);
...

Hope this helps,
George

George. You are a cool dude.
Thanx. That sorted it. (Yeah, I didn't read the API very much - sorry).

Hi Jacques:
Can you statement your problem detailly ? Because in my test, this two way all work fine.
one:
Registry registry = LocateRegistry.createRegistry(1234);
registry.rebind(xxxxx, xxxxx);
two:
LocateRegistry.createRegistry(1234);
Naming.rebind(xxxxx, xxxxx);

Hi Leo.

two:
LocateRegistry.createRegistry(1234);
Naming.rebind(xxxxx, xxxxx);

Well, that only worked for me on port 1099. When using a different port, I got the exception I posted previously.
The first one works fine for me though.
