the short answer: no. The easiest thing to do is go through either RMI or AltRMI (http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon/excalibur/altrmi). > I would have assumed there would have been some sort of service registry > which I could get my hands on via a static factory method, from which I > could reference the service I was looking for. Nope. The base of the problem is in jo! not really knowing it runs in phoenix, so things you run in jo! can't access things in phoenix directly: ---------------------------------------- | Phoenix | | | | ----------------- ----------------- | | | YourComponent |<-| ServletEngine | | | ----------------- | ^ | | | | | | | | | ----------- | | | ----------------- | | Servlet | | | | | AComponent |<-| ----------- | | | ----------------- | | | | ----------------- | | | ---------------------------------------- an arrow means 'can get reference to'. The servlet can't get a reference to YourComponent or AComponent because the ServletEngine doesn't pass on the reference (which it _can_ get) on to the servlet. If you want to go central-registry-style, your best bet is probably to use JNDI. regards, Leo Simons -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:avalon-phoenix-dev-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:avalon-phoenix-dev-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
