RMI Registry can't find my classes?

[Bill Donnelly]

Requesting a little help from anyone who might know more about RMI than
I do.......

My server, which uses RMI, can't register itself in the rmiregistry, and
the exception I get is a ClassNotFoundException inside an
UnmarshalingException, which basically tells me that the registry can't
find my stub class.

It appears that if the stub class is in a directory that is in the
CLASSPATH when I start the registry, it all works fine...

However, this seems counterintuitive - I realize the registry has to
load the stub class from *somewhere*, but how can you run the registry
as a system process when it requires to know about its clients
whereabouts at runtime? Is there something I'm missing here?
