closing rmi registry

Question

Using RMI to pass String object from WebAppA to WebAppB.WebAppB is the RMIServer whereas WebAppA is RMIClient.I have added ContextListener in WebAppB, so that the rmi service starts right away when the context is initialized in tomcat.And in the contextDestroyed method of tomcat I am trying to close/shut down rmi using the following statements:

unexportObject(remoteObj,true);
LocateRegistry.getRegistry(3232).unbind("MessagePath"); //MessagePath - name of the remote reference

But even after the execution of the aforeseen statements, rmi is listening for incoming requests at port 3232.I saw that by using "netsat -ano" in command prompt.Please do help me to close RMI Service.

Answer 1

getRegistry returns a stub only, so use the instance returned by createRegistry in unexportObject. However in my case this does not help either - the registry is not active anymore, but the sockets are still open and listening :-(
