Bind RMI object to JNDI

Question

InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext ();
ctx.rebind ("wwlhp", remoteObject);Does the JNDI tree and remoteObject reside in the same JVM?
Can i use JNDI without J2EE platform?
Can some one give me a piece of code illustrating rebinding in server side and looking up in client side.

Answer 1

import javax.naming.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Server{
public static void main(String[]args){
try{
Hashtable env=new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"com.sun.jndi.rmi.registry.RegistryContextFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"rmi://servername");
Context ctx=new InitialContext(env);
//create an instance of remote object
RemoteIF i=new RemoteImpl();
ctx.rebind("common name",ri);
}catch(Exception ex){}
The client needs to create a context as well, as above, the lookup
RemoteIF ri=(RemoteIF)ctx.lookup("common name");
The Stub classes must be available to the client as well
start rmiregistry
start the server
off you go with the client
