OSGI - How to start multiple configurations of a bundle

1
votes

I'm new to OSGI and working with Apache Felix.

In 'Apache Felix Web Console Bundles' I can control a bundle with a start, stop, update, install and remove button. I have made a bundle that is able to control OSGI automatically. This bundle can start, stop, install, update and remove other bundles. So I don't need the 'In 'Apache Felix Web Console Bundles' anymore.

Now I want to control multiple configurations of a bundle. In 'Apache Felix Web Console Configuration' I can create a new 'factory configuration'. I want that my bundle can create new 'factory configurations' automatically. Question: How can my bundle start multiple configurations of an other bundle?

EDIT Changed 'instances' in the second paragraph to 'configurations' EDIT2 Clarified question

These are not multiple instances of a bundle; these are configurations which a bundle or a service can read and behave accordingly. Further, one can have a service factory that can create a service for each matching configuration, but the bundle is singular.
