Remarks

• Again the program does two things:

  • It looks up a reference to a remote object with external name “MessageWriter”, and stores the returned reference with local name server.
  • Finally (!), it invokes the remote method, writeMessage(), on server.

• The call to Naming.lookup() searches in a remote RMI registry. Its argument is a URL, with protocol tag “rmi”.

• This example assumes the remote object lives on the host “sirah”, and has been registered in the default RMI registry (which happens to listen on port 1099) on that machine.
