Timothy Ward created FELIX-5974:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Prototype scope references are not released on deactivation
                 Key: FELIX-5974
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-5974
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Declarative Services (SCR)
    Affects Versions: scr-2.1.12
            Reporter: Timothy Ward
             Fix For: scr-2.1.14


Having read the stack overflow question on [Stack Overflow|https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52839641/osgi-ds-prototype-reference-not-released] I was pretty certain that the user must be doing something wrong, but in fact it seems as though SCR does a bad job of releasing Prototype scoped references when a component is disposed.

I looked into the code, and it seems that there are a lot of conflicting locations where prototype scope services are obtained and released. I propose tidying this up so that the ComponentServiceObjects is *always* used internally regardless of whether it is injected or not. This encapsulates all the access in a single location so it is less likely that the objects will leak.
