/**

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 *

 * @since 1.1
