I am curious about a pattern that would allow to request a service from 
an object (node, DataObject, FileObject) that someone passes to your 
code from outside that would not look as a joke.
One thing is to have factory methods on the service class something like
	Service get(Node|FileObject|DataObject place)
but that has another problem - when a new place-type appears, you have 
to update the service interface, which seems as a similar joke to me.
