Zack: You said "It seems to me you might be using getExtensionApiForZone to get a list of the extensions and then use one of these extensions?" Yes, you got it right. I use this to get one of the extension that I want that is implemented by a provider. The extension gives an 'alias' which is typically then use construct a URL and then create a domain class to represent that extension. My original question is : " Does JCloud have any helper classes to allow me to create one of these domain API classes or do I have to wrap my own?". Specifically, if I am a vendor and I want to write a vendor-specific extension JCloud domain API class(for example, SecurityGroupApi) surely JCloud must have a prescribed way to allow a vendor to write such a a domain API object associated with that extension so that everyone conforms to the same pattern.
