Re: [jboss-as7-dev] How to access a AS7 service from a deployed archive?

I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to this RA, but this sounds architecturally odd to me. If an RA needs access to container services, aren't there spec defined ways by which that access is obtained? If someone else wrote an RA, how would they solve this problem? If this RA were deployed in Glassfish, how would it do it? I can see how if the subsystem installs the RA it could use an alternate non-spec mechanism of finding services, but it feels odd if there is a requirement to use those mechanisms for a deployment.
