RE: [C3] Calling another from REST resource

To clarify my question:

I need to identify persons when they access a resource. On the client side, a temporal hash is stored. On the server side, I use that hash to connect with an account associated with a person. The hash is not unique, it is assigned upon signing in, and lost after signing out. When accessing the resource, say a VideoResource in block A,

@POST
Response doSomething(@PathParam("hash") String hash)
{
    Account account = .... // Use the hash here.

    this.facade_.doSomething(account, ....);

    return someResponse;
}

The account information is obtained from another block (B), which is accessed by various others block for the same purpose. These blocks represent various services for which a person may have an account.

Thus, the line with

Account account = .... // Use the hash here.

would access another block.

Can this easily be facilitated with cocoon3 at this stage?

thanks for your time,

Subject: [C3] Calling another from REST resource

Is it actually possible to call an another block (say block A) from within a REST resource that resides in block B?

Thanks,
