You don't make a link to a service, what you can do is create a link
to a component (including a pgae).
Here's an example, off the top of my head (with errors, etc.), for a
chart-like service:
HTML:
<img src="${chartURL}"/>
Java:
@Inject
private MyChartService _chartService;
@Inject
private ComponentResources _resources;
public Link getChartURL()
{
Link link = _resources.createActionLink("chart", false);
// Can add query parameters to link here.
return link;
}
// Invoked in second request:
public StreamResponse onChart()
{
// Do something with _chartService.
// Return a StreamReponse wrapper around the gif/png/jpeg bytestream
from the service
return ...;
}
Notice how we build a "chart" event request link, then the handler
method, onChart(), is invoked for us.
For JavaScript/Ajax; we'll generate a Link and convert it to a string,
include it in a block of generated JavaScript. Check out the
PageRenderSupport interface:
http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5/tapestry-core/apidocs/org/apache/tapestry/PageRenderSupport.html
The StreamResponse may send back text, markup or binary that is
meaningful for the client-side JavaScript.
T5's Ajax support will include easy support for responding to a
request by sending a JSON response used to update portions of the
page.

I think the main thing that Matt wants is to:
a.) know how to get a link to a home-brewed service
and
b.) know how to access that from a javascript call.
I don't know how to get the link to access the T5 service, but here's a good
link for a simple javascript call.
