RMI Server Randomly Terminating

Hello,

I am running the following code:

Code:

---

public class StartServer
{
        public static void main(String[] args)
        {
               
                try {
                        Registry registry = LocateRegistry.createRegistry(1099);
                        RMIServerMethods serverStub = (RMIServerMethods) UnicastRemoteObject.exportObject(new Server(), 0);
                        registry.rebind("rmiservermethods", serverStub);
                } catch (RemoteException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                }
               
        }
}

---

After running this the process will terminate (including all of the threads within it) w/o any exceptions after a random amount of time. This happens about 50-60% of the time which means that it does often work. I have tried to start the rmiregistry separately without any success. Has anyone experienced this issue? If so, are you aware of a fix?

Thanks!

Why would it not terminate? Once execution reaches the end of main() the application has nothing else to do.

I was thinking that the createRegistry() method would spawn a thread for the rmiregistry and would force the process to stay alive. In addition when it runs correctly it does block (aka when the client is able to get the stub).
