You really mean the SessionFactory? we aren't integrating Infinispan
that intimately to Hibernate right?
SearchFactory sorry.
Assuming you meant the "SearchFactory", do you mean to pass an
instance of Infinispan's CacheManager or shall we pass it a map of
objects?
something liek builder.addStuff("infinispan", cacheManager);
this is backed by a Map internally
As you suggested below relating to the BuildContext, I like the idea
of a Map<String,Object>, could we pass a similarly approached
Map<String,Object> to the SearchFactoryBuilder ?
yes, see my comment above
In this case we should internally track which services where
provided
and which where started in the factory, but then expose a single
Map<String,Object> to the consumers:
yep
I'll try defining a new interface, having something similar to
the Map
but wrapped in an object to keep track of some more details, like for
each service if we should stop it or not.
How is the eventual service going to be stopped? Should the same map
be returned to the consumers at stop() time, so that -for example -
the DirectoryProvider will care to stop
the cachemanager it created? Or should each object in the map
implement a "lifecycle" interface, so that a central stop method can
stop all services.
yes the latter seems better and more flexible to me: whoever starts it, stops it.

to DirectoryProviders, as you said, using the BuildContext sounds appropriate. We should
also make it part of StateSearchFactoryImplementor, this is how we will be able to pass
them from one ImmutableSearchFactory to another. We also need to keep the lifecyle object
themselves to be able to call the destroy operation on SF.close();
