/**
 * 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}. * * @param Type of Service * @see BundleContext#getService(ServiceReference) * @ThreadSafe * @author $Id: f11fc6bee18315fb659c7987d1b66f1c9c95548a $ */ @ConsumerType public interface ServiceFactory { /** * Returns a service object for a bundle. * *

* The Framework invokes this method the first time the specified * {@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 * containing a service exception of type * {@link ServiceException#FACTORY_ERROR} and {@code null} is returned to * the bundle. If this method throws an exception, a framework event of type * {@link FrameworkEvent#ERROR} is fired containing a service exception of * type {@link ServiceException#FACTORY_EXCEPTION} with the thrown exception * as the cause and {@code null} is returned to the bundle. If this method * is recursively called for the specified bundle, a framework event of type * {@link FrameworkEvent#ERROR} is fired containing a service exception of * type {@link ServiceException#FACTORY_RECURSION} and {@code null} is * returned to the bundle. * *

* The Framework caches the valid service object and will return the same * service object on any future call to * {@link BundleContext#getService(ServiceReference)} for the specified * bundle. This means the Framework must not allow this method to be * concurrently called for the specified bundle. * * @param bundle The bundle requesting the service. * @param registration The {@code ServiceRegistration} object for the * requested service. * @return A service object that must be an instance of all * the classes named when the service was registered. * @see BundleContext#getService(ServiceReference) */ public S getService(Bundle bundle, ServiceRegistration registration); /** * Releases a service object customized for a bundle. * *
