31Provides a class and two interfaces for the RMI registry.
32A registry is a remote object that maps names to remote objects. A
33server registers its remote objects with the registry so that they can
34be looked up. When an object wants to invoke a method on a remote
35object, it must first lookup the remote object using its name. The
36registry returns to the calling object a reference to the remote
37object, using which a remote method can be invoked.
