no you cannot ... please state what and where you need it for (flow,

so obtain this extended form manager in flow :
form.setBookmark();
var mgr = cocoon.getComponent( ExtendedFormManager.ROLE );
form.showForm( "myview", { mgr: mgr } );
There is somethink like form bookmark which stores the continuation to
restart the form. So every time your form gets show a new manager is
being looked up. You should release this manager after every form
roundtrip (really do not know how to do it here - you might have to
change Form.js).
then do it like this:
<ft:form-template location="mgr.getForm($request, 'MyExtendedForm')">

I am working on a "ExtendedFormManager" which groups a form, several
bindings and data models together. The use case is to specify e.g. a form
which initializes from a "database model" with binding A and upon submit
stores itself into the "database model" with binding B and additionally
into a "mailto model" with binding C, thus storing and sending an email.
The "ExtendedFormManager" should manage the whole thing together as
painlessly as possible, it should be a Service, and should be created from
a configuration file automatically when a form is needed.
One Situation is in the form template, where you get the form through a
JXPath expression. Something like the following would be nice there:
<ft:form-template location="ExtendedFormManagerHelper.getForm($request,
'MyExtendedForm')">
where ExtendedFormManagerHelper.getForm is a static method that does the
Service lookup and initialization.
For this to work, I need to get the ServiceManager in order to get to my
ExtendedFormManager Service. According to the code
(FormsPipelineConfig.createConfig), the JXPath context only has variables
for continuation, request, session and parameters.

are you talking about custom binding? if so you can implement it in
javascript and you do not need a service manager because you could do
cocoon.getComponent
but I may be wrong

I need it in a JXPath expression, where the JX context ist created by
cocoon (cform's binding manager), and this context does not contain the
service manager.
