Guillaume Sauthier commented on FELIX-3537:
-------------------------------------------
Maybe the Factory interface should offer that kind of API:
Factory.getComponentInstances() : Collection<ComponentInstance>
Or something more flexible with filtering capabilities:
Factory.getComponentInstances(InstanceFilter) : Collection<ComponentInstance>
and
InstanceFilter.filter(ComponentInstance):boolean
As instances are also dynamic objects, maybe a notification system could be
envisionned (not sure if this is a real requirement) ?

> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: iPOJO
> Reporter: Guillaume Sauthier
>
> Currently, ComponentInstance works great with iPOJO's Factory:
> With the Factory, you can create a new ComponentInstance, and using the
> ComponentInstance returned, you have some control over the instance
> (start/stop/dispose/reconfigure).
> This is very nice, but the limitation is that the ComponentInstance is only
> known within your "session" with the Factory, you cannot access it outside.
> That means, for example, that an instance created from the metadata.xml will
> never be startable, stoppable or reconfigurable.
> So I would like to have a way to obtain ComponentInstance(s) from the iPOJO
> API.
