Bind object to a registry on another machine

[Hema Menon]

Hi,
I am just making baby steps thru RMI. I was wondering if it is possible to bind my remote object to a registry located on another machine. When I tried running rmiregistry on on machine and from another machine I tried to bind to it, I got AccessException. Am I missing something, or is it not possible altogether. Any inputs would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Hema

Okay, I got my answer. Here it is for future reference. I found the following from the Getting started using RMI

For security reasons, an application can bind or unbind only to a registry running on the same host. This prevents a client from removing or overwriting any of the entries in a server's remote registry. A lookup, however, can be done from any host.
Well, the answer is no, its not possible.
Thanks,
Hema
