To do this in ScriptServiceManager.get() we use a Dynamic Proxy to implement MyModuleBusinessInterface (we probably need a ScriptService.getInterface() method to make it unambiguous). The Dynamic Proxy checks the annotation before proxying to the real object. >>>> >>>> WDYT? >>>> >>>> Thanks >>>> -Vincent >>>> >>>> PS: This is to answer Sergiu's question about where is getAvailableParserSyntaxes() from my other mail... ;) Answer: It would be in RenderingScriptService. > > ________
