public java.lang.Object lookup(java.lang.String role)
                        throws ServiceException

Description copied from interface: ServiceManager

Get the Object associated with the given key. For instance, If the ServiceManager had a LoggerComponent stored and referenced by key, the following could be used:

 try
 {
     LoggerComponent log;
     myComponent = (LoggerComponent) manager.lookup( LoggerComponent.ROLE );
 }
 catch (...)
 {
     ...
 }
 

Specified by:

an Object value

Returns:

True if the object exists, False if it does not.

release

Specified by:

release in interface ServiceManager

Parameters:
