Component.getInstance or Context.get

[barbacena]

Hi,

I am trying to retrieve a component programmatically and I want to know the best approach:

Component.getInstance(ClassOrName, ScopeType.TYPE)

or

Contexts.getSCOPETYPEContext().get(ClassOrName)

Depends on what you are trying to do.  The first will try to create the component if it does not exist in the context.  The second will simply return the context reference or null if it is not in the context.

Hope it helps.
