I’ve built a component that provides an operation through a service.

MyComponent::MyComponent(std::string const& name) : TaskContext(name)
{
// std::string foo()
this->provides(“MyService”)->addOperation(“MyOperation”, &MyComponent::foo, this, ClientThread);
}

I’ve instantiated that component in a C++ deployment for the purpose of unit testing/benchmarking.

int ORO_main(int argc, char** argv)
{
boost::shard_ptr<MyComponent> myComponent;
myComponent.reset(new MyComponent(“MyComponent”));

OperationCaller<std::string(void)> op_myOperation = myComponent->getOperation(“MyOperation”);
std::cout << op_myOperation() << std::endl;
}

This results in: “No such operation in service ‘MyComponent’: MyOperation"

How do I go about calling MyOperation from within ORO_main()? (I can call this method from other components with the use of requires(“MyService”).) I’m getting lost in the weeds. There’s TaskContext::getOperation, but I think that’s missing the service layer. Do I need to use an RTT::Service or RTT::ServiceRequester class somewhere?
