Question about Portal Services: I know that in Pluto, you are able to create a "Portal Service" that may be utilized by the portlet container (and in effect, portlets within it). I've noted that in Jetspeed2, services are configured within the Spring file "jetspeed-spring.xml". Another thing that I also noticed, is that the services defined within that assembly file did not appear to implement any special interface ... whereas in Pluto I was under the impression that "services" had to implement a designated "Service" interface (w/init & destroy methods). Is this not the case in J2's implementation?
But anyway .... here is my MAIN question .... HOW do you get acquire a "reference" on a portal service instance from within a portlet's "init" or "processAction" methods???? For example, if I created a service in J2 named "MyService", from within my portlet's init method, how do I grab a handle on it? Example .... public class MyPortlet extends GenericServletPortlet { public void init(PortletConfig config) throws PortletException { super.init(config); MyService myserv = (MyService) <<????WHAT-GOES-HERE????>>; if (null == myserv) { throw new PortletException("Could not acquire MyService!"); } } } I'm having a very hard time finding any discussion or documentation on this anywhere ... hey, I even bought the book by Jeff Linwood and Dave Minter about building portals ... still no luck ...
