If you need the set layout to be rendered from a specific module then use the module
argument from the setLayout() or renderLayout()
methods:
component name="general"{​function index(event,rc,prc){​// call some model for data and put into the request collectionprc.myQuery = getInstance('MyService').getData();// set the view for renderingevent.setLayout( name="admin", module="contentbox" );​}​}
