From my knowledge of RMI an exported object is able to service requests via RMI for any clients. The RMI Registry is simple there as a means of looking up the RMI server in the first place (JNDI in
J2EE).
If an RMI server was unbound from the registry, this means that no new clients can look up the server anymore, but existing clients can still access the RMI server and perform requests.
If you were to unexport an RMI Server object it will then be unable to service existing or new client requests, weather it's bound to the RMI Registry or not.
Is my thinking correct?
Thanx for your help.
