Managed Object Description

The ServiceManager managed object is a singleton object that is used to present services that are optional and not necessarily formally defined. This directory makes available a list of such services and provides an easy way to locate them. The service being represented can take arbitrary form here and is thus represented by a generic ManagedObject. The expectation is that the client side is knowledgeable of the instance type of the specific service it is interested in using.
