Hi there,

>Could you be more explicit on how you are using createRegistry?

I am sorry, I have only used the createRegistry statement, because I wanted
to write an application for the wrapper ;-) and I had read that way of
getting a RMIRegistry in an article at JavaWorld
(http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-01-2001/jw-0112-rmi.html)

There is some code in that article mentioned above, maybe that helps you a
little bit. 
As far as I know you have to use createRegistry if there is no RMIRegistry
running at the moment. The API states about createRegistry "Creates and
exports a Registry on the local host that accepts requests on the specified
port." I think that should have the same effect as typing rmiregistry on
your console.
If you have created an RMIRegistry the you can get this by using
getRegistry. This will cause some problems, if there is non existing
RMIRegistry at the moment. The API states about this point "Note that a
getRegistry call does not actually make a connection to the remote host. It
simply creates a local reference to the remote registry and will succeed
even if no registry is running on the remote host. Therefore, a subsequent
method invocation to a remote registry returned as a result of this method
may fail. "

Hope that this information was useful for you and have a nice day,
