NX: How to stop RMI service

[Nicholas Cheung]

Hi all,
I have completed the general coding of the local connection, and now, I moved to the remote server part.
After reading some posts, I have tried to register the RMI services, however, when I try to stop it by:

Naming.unbind(SERVICE_NAME);

I discovered that the port (1099) is still active!!!
So, when I try to "restart" the RMI service, the following error occurs:

The port 1099 has been already binded

How can I unbinded the port as well?
Thanks.
Nick

Nick,
You'll love Sun for this!!! You cannot unbind the RMI service.
You have to keep it listening and bind ur objects if u want again.
To make a bold comment, RMI could have been built better than it is now. (Im sure im going to scorned for this in the forum !!! )

You cannot stop a port. the Registry is what is running, and if you started it in code, then when the code stops then the registry stops. If you started the registry from the command line, then just use CTRL-C key combination and that will stop the Registry.

That is to say, I cannot stop the RMI services, and restart it again.
The only way I can do is, when the user click "STOP", I release all resources of the program hold, and quit the server application.
Am I correct?
Thanks for advice.
Nick.

Hi Nick,
Yes, that is correct.
