David Jencks commented on FELIX-5356:
-------------------------------------
On further consideration, setting the policy definitely won't work since a
factory component can be configured by any number of singleton configurations.
A better approach might be to look at the configuration merging code in
ConfigurableComponentHolder and prevent dealing with a matching factory
configurations if the component is a factory component. If the literal spec
behavior is correct, that might be a place to implement it as well.
> Component Factory and CM factory Configurations behave badly

> Key: FELIX-5356
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-5356
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Declarative Services (SCR)
> Affects Versions: scr-2.0.6
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Thomas Watson
> Priority: Minor
>
> This is a corner case and a minor issue in my opinion. The specification
> really only mentions the following with respect to what should happen with
> factory components and CM factory configurations:
> {quote}
> A factory configuration must not be used if the component is a factory
> component. This is because SCR is not free to create component configurations
> as necessary to support multiple Configurations. When SCR detects this
> condition, it must log an error message with the Log Service,
> if present, and ignore the component description.
> {quote}
> At face value it seems to suggest that any CM factory configurations must be
> ignored when they match the factory component PID. But the last sentence
> also makes a strong assertion that the component description must be ignored
> if matching factory configurations are detected while discovering a factory
> component description. This seems overkill to me. Why not just ignore the
> factory configurations? Why must the factory component description be
> ignored altogether?
> The other issue is that if a matching factory configuration is created later,
> after a ComponentFactory has been registered and a ComponentInstance has been
> created (with newInstance) then felix SCR will dispose of the
> ComponentInstance. In this case the component instance did not specify an
> update method.
