jcr-server-webapp: RMI Registration unstable
--------------------------------------------

         Key: JCR-291
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-291
     Project: Jackrabbit
        Type: Improvement
 Environment: SVN Rev. 355696
    Reporter: Felix Meschberger
    Priority: Minor


Registration of the repository to a RMI registry in 
RepositoryStartupServlet.registerRMI uses web application parameters 
inconsistently and may not always succeed registering the repository.

Today, the registerRMI uses these parameters for registration to RMI:

    rmi-host : The name of the host on which the registry is running
    rmi-port : The port on which the registry is running
    rmi-uri : An RMI URI to use for registration
    repository-name : The name to bind the repository to

The problem is, that rmi-port is used to try to create the registry to make 
sure a registry is running on the local host. The rmi-uri is used to register 
the repository using the static Naming.bind method. If the rmi-uri is not 
configured, the URI is created from rmi-host, rmi-port and repository-name.

This may now create a bunch of problems: If the rmi-port and rmi-uri 
configurations do not match, registration fails, if rmi-host does not resolve 
to an IP address to which the registry is bound, registration fails.

I encounter this issue, when trying to register the repository to an RMI 
registry using default rmi-port configuration (rmi-host and rmi-uri not 
configured) when running the web app in Jetty.
