I was figuring out why my ManagedServiceFactory wasn't getting configured by the feature when I discovered the odd notation used to specify the service pid.
I found that if the name attribute of the config element has a dash in it, the attribute value will be split into a service pid and a service factory pid. If I read the code correctly, both the service pid and the factory service pid need to be set to the name of the ManagedServiceFactory. So I managed to get my ManagedServiceFactory configured by specifying: <config name="com.foo.MyManagedServiceFactory-com.foo.MyManagedServiceFactory"> ... </config> However that seems a bit verbose and is just one more place where a typo can stop things from working. I think it would be better if there was a different attribute name to configure ManagedServiceFactories. For example, configuring a ManagedService would stay the same: <config name="com.foo.MyManagedService"> ... </config> But configuring a ManagedServiceFactory would be: <config factoryName="com.foo.MyManagedServiceFactory"> ... </config> Is this a good idea or do I misunderstand something?
