Backwards Compatibility

Under the Midgard1 extension (and under Midgard 2 in backwards-compatibility mode) you can alternatively use the $_MIDCOM superglobal provided by the extension:

//old syntax:
$_MIDCOM->componentloader->load('org.openpsa.documents');

See $_MIDCOM Superglobal Migration Table for a full mapping.
