The @Component(service = ConfigurationFactory.class) @Designate(ocd = ConfigurationFactorylmpl.Config.class,factory=true) option is recommended for creating a multi-tenancy configuration and binding multiple configurations to it. This option uses the OSGi R6 annotations to define a component that provides a service of type ConfigurationFactory and designates a class that contains the configuration properties. The factory=true attribute indicates that multiple configurations can be created for this component.
