Accessing services

[Emond Papegaaij <em...@emaxx.nl>]

Hello,

I've created my own Serviceable object. It is registered from cocoon.xconf, 
however, how do I access this service? I need access from the following parts 
of the code:
- sitemap
- javascript flow
- xsp
- custom java objects

At this moment I put the Serviceable object in a static field to access it 
from anywhere, but I don't like this solution and I assume there's a better 
way to do it.

This Servicable also uses the SessionManager. Is it safe to assume that the 
SessionManager will always be present in the ServiceManager provided to my 
Serviceable?

Best regards,
Emond Papegaaij

With method service or compose? I don't know which one is now 
implemented in XSP.
Note: ComponentManager (ServiceManager?) is already imported.

Write your own method? But:

You should never throw a component thru other objects because of  
closing it correctly can be a problem!

The best way ist to get the component, fetch all datas required and then 
return it immediately after that. Only the required datas should be used 
as arguments for other objects becuase you can fall into troubles if 
you're using Poolable or ThreadSafe and not returning the component 
correctly!

Stephan
