Services and scoped plans

[dsklyut]

Hi,

I wonder if there is a way to "jail break" service from scoped plan to be visible in the global service registry? Any plans to support something like that?

I was recently looking at the apache aries application documentation (http://incubator.apache.org/aries/applications.html) and noticed "Application-ExportService:" manifest header. This could be a very interesting addition to the plan/par capabilities.

We support allowing services to "punch through" from a scope into the global scope. Here's an example showing the relevant service property:

<service id="publishIntoGlobal" interface="java.lang.CharSequence">
		<service-properties>
			<beans:entry key="com.springsource.service.scope" value="global" />
		</service-properties>
		<beans:bean class="java.lang.String">
			<beans:constructor-arg value="foo"/>
		</beans:bean>
</service>

Brilliant!
