Question: Explain the various methods of registering and gaining access to the Remote Object.

Answer: The methods of remote objects are to be invoked by implementing the java.rmi.Remote interface.

Methods:

bind(): binds the specified name to the remote object. The name parameter of this method should be in an URL format.

unbind(): Destroys the binding for a specific name of a remote method in the registry

rebind(): Binds again the specified name to the remote object. The current binding will be replaced by rebinding.

list(): Returns the names of the names that were bound to the registry in an array form. These names are in the form of URL-formatted string.

lookup(): A stub, a reference will be returned for the remote object which is related with a specified name.
