I have come upon a conceptual problem with OSGi. First, I'll tell what I need. I need a factory that will create some instances. Each instance has it's own configuration and all instances provide a service.
I've read about the EMailFetcher example in the Configuration Admin Specification and it turned out to be just my case. So I was happy and thought that I should use ManagedServiceFactory and all the things associated with it. Later, however I've read the Declarative Services Specification. And that is where it began. I can't feel the difference between the ManagedServiceFactory (from Configuration Admin) and ComponentFactory (from Declarative Services). If anyone could tell me the difference between them (for example why can't I use ComponentFactory in the EMailFetcher example, or can I?), I would be very-very thankful. Thanks in advance...
