Service Manager

To achieve the full benefit of the separation, XOOPS 2.6.0 alpha 3 introduced a Service Manager component.

• Services located by service name, not provider
• Service interface established by Contract
• Returns a standardized Response object that includes result, status and messages

Service Manager Connection

• Request is based on a well known interface
• Actual provider does not matter to caller
• No need to check for a specific module
• If the service is not available, that status is returned just like any other error condition.

Code Simplification

Direct Module Connection

if ($xoops->isActiveModule('notifications')) {
 $notification_handler = Notifications::getInstance()->getHandlerNotification();
 $notification_handler->triggerEvent('global', 0, 'category_created', $tags);
}

Service Manager Connection

$xoops->service('Notify')->triggerEvent('global', 0, 'category_created', $tags);
