Phoenix container question

[Jim Alateras <ji...@intalio.com>]

I am running my application in a Phoenix container and was wondering whether
it is possible for an object, like a Handle, to get access to a Block, like
the Resolver for the purpose of resolving the handle to an object. Are
blocks registered with a naming service or something similar

thanks

Im not exactly sure what you are asking. Are you asking for the ability to 
reference the blocks outside the container? 

If so then you can look at SingleAppEmbeddor for in-JVM communication or you 
can look at the SOAP/AltRMI/JMX integration for accessing blocks from another 
JVM.

If you are talking about accessing other blocks from within the same 
Application using some form of directory then there is nothing that directly 
does that. It is expected that you use dependencies between blocks to 
implement inter-block communication. However you can implement this yourself. 

You can write a "directory" block that stores references to all the other 
blocks.

Then you can write an ApplicationListener that listeners for the event 
indicating creation of all the different blocks. All the created blocks are 
cached in the listener until an applicationStarted event occurs at which 
point you could register them in the directory block.
