/**
* A factory for {@link Constants#SCOPE_BUNDLE bundle scope} services. The
* factory can provide service objects customized for each bundle in the OSGi
* environment.
*
*
* When registering a service, a {@code ServiceFactory} object can be used
* instead of a service object, so that the bundle developer can create a
* customized service object for each bundle that is using the service.
*
*
* When a bundle {@link BundleContext#getService(ServiceReference) requests} the
* service object, the framework calls the
* {@link #getService(Bundle, ServiceRegistration) getService} method to return
* a service object customized for the requesting bundle. The returned service
* object is cached by the Framework for subsequent calls to
* {@link BundleContext#getService(ServiceReference)} until the bundle releases
* its use of the service.
*
*
* When the bundle's use count for the service is
* {@link BundleContext#ungetService(ServiceReference) decremented} to zero
* (including the bundle stopping or the service being unregistered), the
* framework will call the
* {@link #ungetService(Bundle, ServiceRegistration, Object) ungetService}
* method.
*
*
* {@code ServiceFactory} objects are only used by the Framework and are not
* made available to other bundles in the OSGi environment. The Framework may
* concurrently call a {@code ServiceFactory}.

* {@code bundle} requests a service object using the
* {@link BundleContext#getService(ServiceReference)} method. The factory
* can then return a customized service object for each bundle.
*
*
* The Framework must check that the returned service object is valid. If
* the returned service object is {@code null} or is not an
* {@code instanceof} all the classes named when the service was registered,
* a framework event of type {@link FrameworkEvent#ERROR} is fired

* as the cause and {@code null} is returned to the bundle. If this method
