Ezra, sorry the docs I posted last week are not complete, as were in the RC cycle for 2.4. I will try and update the docs online tomorrow, as the current are all sitting in CVS. Heres what I have locally: | 6.1.3.2. Injecting Services in the portlet context | | <portlet-app> | <service> | <service-name>UserModule</service-name> | <service-class>org.jboss.portal.identity.UserModule</service-class> | <service-ref>:service=Module,type=User</service-ref> | </service> | </portlet-app> | Injects the UserModule service in to the portlet context, allowing a portlet to then leverage the service. For example: | | UserModule userModule = (UserModule) getPortletContext().getAttribute("UserModule"); | String userId = request.getParameters().getParameter("userid"); | User user = userModule.findUserById(userId); | | | The difference you're seeing is how the contexts are mapped to services. Look in jboss-portal.sar/portal-core.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml for the mbean definitions. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3957588#...
