[gatein-dev] Access to the service stack from the API

Folks, Ideally, we would support calling to the API from extensions. However, this is currently a tricky proposition due to weak service ordering and dependency management of the kernel. Calling to the API from portlets is a non-issue because all the services are made available by the portal context by the time portlets are ready to execute code. While we might decide to eschew support of calling to the API from extensions, we need to address the REST use case and solve the issue of making sure that all the proper services are started and available when the REST component of the API is made available to users (which will probably not call to the API from a portal context). We therefore need to come up with a solution to this issue. Ideas? :) Cordialement / Best, Chris == Principal Software Engineer / JBoss Enterprise Middleware Red Hat, Inc.
