RMI registry not working if I invoke it from command line

[Krishna Akkineni]

Hi,
when I invoke rmiregistry from command line
(Win'NT) i am getting following exception.
Apparently Naming.rebind is failing.
(All programs including rmid, rmiregistry, RMI activation
setup program are running on local host).
Strangely, If I create rmiregistry programatically, then it
is working. After going through the API documentation, I notice
that LocateRegistry.createRegistry() creates as well as EXPORTS
Registry.
What is meant by exporting RMI registry. If we invoke RMI registry, are not we exporting it?
I tried for 2 days with all permutations and finally
posting this. If some one knew this problem please
help me.
Thanks for reading.
Krishna

Include the Folder Path for your package in the "CLASSPATH" Env Variable of NT.

Thanks Armita. Your pin-pointed reply shot the problem.
It is working if I follows your sugestion.
But I have a contradicting understanding now.
SUN's documentation says following:
--------------
Note: Before you start the rmiregistry, you must make sure that the shell or window in which you will run the registry either
has no CLASSPATH set or has a CLASSPATH that does not include the path to any classes that you want downloaded to your
client, including the stubs for your remote object implementation classes.
If you start the rmiregistry, and it can find your stub classes in its CLASSPATH, it will ignore the server's
java.rmi.server.codebase property, and as a result, your client(s) will not be able to download the stub code for your
remote object
---------
So, If I follow above mentioned text then I am facing the same old problem. If I don't follow (i.e., If I keep classpath
to my classes), then will there be any problems that were
mentioned in the above text.
Thanks Once again.
Krishna
