Alexander,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I’ve been trying to do some testing on my end
with this. So I have built a service factory with both calls (celix_bundelcontext_registerServiceFactory
& bundelcontext_registerServiceFactory) and they both give the same result in that they
won’t spin up more than 1 service. I am currently using the Remote Service Admin functionality
and launching my Java application twice inside of Eclipse (with different ports assigned and
2 different Eclipse instances) and making 2 separate calls over to my C application.
I may not be doing your #2 below with the service tracking though. Is this needed with RSA
or is something happening in the background to take care of this through your discovery/topology
manager?
Interceptors have proven to me that the call is coming through it’s just not spinning up
a new service.
I’ll look into service tracking today. Please respond and let me know if you think this
is what could be wrong.
Thanks,
Brian
