Hi Ganesh,

If you’re invoking CRISP services in /cms context, you should use `ResourceServiceBroker broker = HippoServiceRegistry.getService(ResourceServiceBroker.class);` instead of using `CrispHstServices`, which starts deprecating the former in v13 as v13 has hst modules in both /cms and /site. So until then, in /cms context, you should get it through `HippoServiceRegistry`.

Could you try that again? Or do you still get `null` from it?

By the way, in that version, the crisp-hst module, loaded in /site webapp, is supposed to register the service to `HippoServiceRegistry`. So if there’s any error while registering the service on startup, you should be able to see error or warning logs in hippo-site.log file.

Regards,

Woonsan
