hi, i have my own theme for my portlet. this theme is packaged in a webapp. (i override the tag region and make custom tag) i would like to get the LayoutService in this web app, but i don't know how to retrieve it. i know that it's possible to inject services into portlet context with jboss-portlet.xml but how to achieve that with a simple web app ? i tried: [...]new initialContext.lookup("java:/portal/LayoutService") without succes, i can't see the mbean LayoutService in the jndi view. i also tried to get the mbean with the platformMBeanServer, he find the bean with its name but i can't retrieve the instance. i'm sure there is an easy way to do this but i don't find it :D thanks for help regards View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4063893#...
