Registering Remote Objects Using Configuration Files 

Remote objects can be registered either programmatically or by specifying the remote objects in configuration files. Registering remote objects in configuration files allows administrators of applications that expose or consume remote objects to change the location of the objects without recompiling the application. This section describes how to register remote objects in configuration files.
