The format of service name is not specified properly in the ServiceManager doc.
Javadoc for ServiceManager.lookup() states:

    Asks the JNLP Client for a service with a given name.
    Parameters:
        name - Name of service to lookup.
    Returns:
        An object implementing the service.

This doc does not prohibit to use different names for the same service
in different implementations.
For example: 3 different implementations can use different names:
"javax.jnlp.BasicService", "BasicService", "MyFavouriteService".
for the one javax.jnlp.BasicService service.
Their lookup method will return an instance of javax.jnlp.BasicService
by the name. But it's too difficult to detect what service will be returned
by "MyFavouriteService" name in this way.

My suggestion is: specify that name parameter should be
fully qualified class name of service and returned object
should be instance of this class.
