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.
Properties

Methods
QueryServiceList
A query interface that returns a list of services that match certain criteria.
Besides a basic service name entry, an arbitrary list of matching locations
can also be specified. The location array is assumed to be a list of AND expressions,
ie, all locations must match for an entry to be considered a match.
Regular expressions are not allowed in the query service.
