DSpace (DSpace Services Framework :: API and Implementation 7.1.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.dspace.utils.DSpace

```
public final class DSpace
extends Object
```
This is the DSpace helper services access object. It allows access to all core DSpace services for those who cannot or will not use the injection service to get services.
Note that this may not include every core service but should include all the services that are useful to UI developers at least.
This should be initialized using the constructor and then can be used as long as the kernel is not shutdown. Making multiple copies of this is cheap and can be done without worry about the cost.
