Accessing the service manager

All services are created and maintained by a single service manager (which implements the com.ibm.hats.runtime.services.IServiceManager interface). Service objects should not be constructed outside of the service manager. The following code sample shows how to access the service manager:

IServiceManager serviceManager = RcpRuntimePlugin.getDefault().getServiceManager();

Table 1 identifies the methods that can be called by the IServiceManager object.
