Pierre, This is a perfect answer I was hoping for. I learned something new especially re: ctx.getServiceObjects(ref). We will plan to hide all this complexity with helper util class that simply provides a ***Helper.getService(type,filter,scope_enum) (and default'ed variants of course).
It'd be convenient if DM API made this simpler by either using service properties or 'builder' method like '.setScope()'; and take care of all the magic that you laid out in your response. As an aside, I was hopeful when read on [1] (section on factoryName). But then again, (i) it's an annotation approach; and 2) doesn't hide complexity - as having to use injected ComponentFactory. Thanks and thanks to everyone that responded. I'll share if DM helper util seems to be of value beyond our narrow use case. Thanks. -Mdu [1] http://felix.apache.org/documentation/subprojects/apache-felix-dependency-manager/reference/component-singleton.html -- View this message in context: http://apache-felix.18485.x6.nabble.com/DM4-service-factory-multiple-service-instance-support-tp5018226p5018253.html Sent from the Apache Felix - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
