    27  * Provides a class and two interfaces for the RMI registry.

    28  * A registry is a remote object that maps names to remote objects.  A

    29  * server registers its remote objects with the registry so that they can

    30  * be looked up.  When an object wants to invoke a method on a remote

    31  * object, it must first lookup the remote object using its name.  The

    32  * registry returns to the calling object a reference to the remote

    33  * object, using which a remote method can be invoked.

    34  *

    35  * @since 1.1
