Unable to use an existing rmiregistry

When I don't start an rmiregistry manually, spring starts it for me and everyting works fine.
If I start it manually, I get the following exception:

Is it even possible to use an rmiregistry that is not started by spring?
I use port 1199

I am also experiencing the same characteristics. Did you ever resolve the issue so that Spring will work with a registry that it does not start?

[pieter_degraeuwe]

Nope, I couldn't solve this (and I didn't have the time to search for it :( )
My workaround:
I do start my rmi registry now with a little do-nothing-spring application, which starts the rmi registry for me. This simple application is running as a service, so it is started always before my other app's do...
