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 ...
Thanks,
- Frank
