If you're only interested in accessing data natively, I suggest you try the "fat client." It brings up a node that participates in gossip, exposes the StorageProxy API, but does not receive a token and so does not have storage responsibilities.
StorageService.instance.initClient(); in 0.7 you will want to loop until the node receives its storage definitions via gossip. Calling SS.instance.initServer() directly bypasses some of the routine startup operations. I don't recommend it unless you really know what's going on (it might work now, but it's not guaranteed to in the future). Gary.
