[Building Sakai] Communication between ResourcesAction and custom service

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi Paul, 
Your best solution would be to create a service that the resources tool can call to perform your custom logic. Then make the modifications you need to the resources tool  Having it the other way around will be difficult as David mentioned.
