Using the client service

The client service, which implements the com.ibm.hats.runtime.services.IClientService interface, provides methods for retrieving information related to the client service. Sample code to retrieve the client service:

IServiceManager serviceManager = RcpRuntimePlugin.getDefault().getServiceManager();
IClientService clientService = serviceManager.getClientService(“theClientId”);

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