I think you mean Configuration Admin and Metatype. But you are right they are
not coupled. But they share the internal data model. The intent is to have the
Metatype service describe the configuration for a Management Agent -- a
configuration manager GUI like the Web Console -- to render the input UI such
that the result of data entry is then usable as a configuration for the
ManagedService[Factory] services.

> 2) for the bundles that registered a ManagedService or ManagedServiceFactory;
This is in fact, what the Configuration display of the Web Console does, but
the other way around: All meta type information is gathered and the
Configuration Admin is asked for existing configuration relating to the meta
type information.
Thus -- IIRC -- only services are configurable which provide meta type
information. All other configuration/services is not configurable through the
Web Console right now. But as I said in my first comment, it might be usefull
to present a generic GUI for ManagedService[Factory] services with no
accompanying meta type information.

What exact bundle are you looking at ? My inspection of the pax-web-service and
pax-web-bundle bundles reveals that neither as a metatype.xml file or a
MetatypeProvider service. I may be wrong, though.

The current Web Console _can_ configure instances of ManagerServiceFactory
instances exactly by looking at the OCD of the factory.

> Components: Web Console
> Affects Versions: webconsole-1.0.0
> Reporter: Dieter Wimberger
>
> The web console does not support to create configurations for:
> 1) managed services (which did not register any themselves); and
> 2) managed service factories (for service instances).
> An example for 1) is the pax-web service: at the moment there is no way to
> add a configuration for it using the web console.
> As of 2) I think that a factory may have multiple Configuration objects
> associated, each of them configuring one service instance (this way its
> possible to configure, create and delete instances by configuration).
