Using
Utils.getRootComponentManager() worked for me, so many thanks.
Even using a deprecated method lets me progress with the task.
The recommended way is the one I’ve now documented at
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Component+Module#HAcce…
Thanks very much. Using services.component.getComponentManager(null) worked
fine. FWIW I see that the the related problem I observed on your website
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/SRD/ was down to
Utils.getComponentManager() being called from
AppWithinMinutes.DynamicMessageTool, which has since been updated in XWiki
6.3. It might be worth backporting a fix so that we can access the
mentioned page.
Again, many thanks for the prompt help and responses.
