Description Lars Vogel CLA 2011-09-02 04:29:06 EDT 
I tried using getViewSite().getServices(MyService) for a View in the compatibility layer and hoped to get my own defined service. 

I checked in the console and saw that my service was registered. Is this supposed to work?

How did you define this service? Is this an OSGi service or are you using a service factory of Eclipse?
Comment 2 Lars Vogel CLA 2011-10-11 15:45:48 EDT 
@Remy: I registered it as OSGi service. My assumption was that this would be one of the enhancements of e4 for "old" RCP applications.

If it's an OSGi service then this should certainly work, I'll take a look. Thanks for the info, Lars.

Lars, was it a service registered through code or a DS?
Comment 5 Remy Suen CLA 2011-10-12 10:55:00 EDT 
I declared a DS and my view's getSite().getService(*) method was able to return the object.

Thanks Remy. I will re-test and post the results.

Retested. Works. For for the long delay in testing.
