Small update, I have finished the base64 encoding part to help break this control away from the proprietary peice. I have also submitted one patch back to the original author pertaining to a non standard compliant way of calling a method without any arguments. With this patch done I have been able to do a active.registry.getCompoments call and receive the data back. Depending on workload and other happenings, I think I should be able to release a preview this next week.
