two (or more) managed service factory with same pid?

I have two managed service factories and both of them need the same set of configuration data.

  • Is that ok to define multiple managed service factory with same factory pid in a single bundle?

  • If the answer (for above question) is NO, then what is the proper way of defining above services without duplicating configuration data in two files?

ps: I'm using blueprint.

Solution

  • I found this from the specification:

    A service can register with multiple PIDs and PIDs can be shared between multiple targets (both Managed Service and Managed Service Factory targets) to receive the same information.

    At least according to the spec, having multiple managed service factories with the same id is ok.
