question: private void initRMIParameters ( ) throws Exception { if ( rmiHostMaster == null || rmiPortMaster == null ) { File confDir = ReplicatorRuntimeConf . locateReplicatorConfDir ( ) ; File propsFile = new File ( confDir , ReplicationServiceManager . CONFIG_SERVICES ) ; println ( String . format ( "Not all RMI parameters provided, using configuration: %s" , propsFile ) ) ; TungstenProperties serviceProps = PropertiesManager . loadProperties ( propsFile ) ; if ( rmiPortMaster == null ) rmiPortMaster = serviceProps . getString ( ReplicatorConf . RMI_PORT , ReplicatorConf . RMI_DEFAULT_PORT , false ) ; if ( rmiHostMaster == null ) rmiHostMaster = ReplicationServiceManager . getHostName ( serviceProps ) ; } }
target:  Tries to load services.properties and extract RMI parameters from there.
