I am generating a set of objects from a schema using XCore, and have an
interface package that now contains about a dozen interfaces; the
implementation is in the implementation package. I would like to serve
up the interfaces with OSGI in order to allow dependency injection in an
e4 RCP application.
Is it the right approach to simply provide a dozen component
configuration files, or is there a better approach that enables me to
put the entire package into a component.xml file? It appears that I
have to do this on a class by class basis with separate component files
but want to make sure this is the right approach.
Thanks.
- Mike

I wasn't very clear!
I want to make my model available as an OSGI service; the model has an
intensive care unit that contains patients that contain laboratory tests
results and clinical decisions. EMF creates the interface and
implementation for these various objects (ICU, Patient, Decision,
Laboratory) and I would like to put these in an OSGI service so they can
be injected in an e4 application.
This is accomplished within the service plugin with a declarative
service using a relatively simple xml file for a component, such as
Patient, and the file indicates the service (interface) and the
implementation class.
All examples I have seen have a single component in a service plugin,
but I see no way to make a single component with these multiple objects.
Thanks.

I'm not sure it makes so much sense to use the generated model classes
in this way. It's generally expected that the factory is used to create
instances but direct constructor calls won't actually hurt...

So this is a question about OSGi service components and service design
not an EMF question.
