Difference between ServiceFactory and ConfigurationFactory?

[Satya Deep Maheshwari <co...@gmail.com>]

Hi

I am trying to understand the difference between ServiceFactory and
ConfigurationFactory as specified in [1] . By using a configuration
factory, I am able to create multiple instances of my service
implementation with different config for each instance. But I am not really
sure what ServiceFactory offers and how to use it. Please help.

Regards
Satya Deep

In short a service factory allows you to create a different implementation of your service for each bundle that consumes it.
An example is the implementation of LogService.
