By the spec, this is not possible because factory configurations cannot be used
to created instances of factory components. IIRC this is explicitly stated in
the spec.
The Felix implementation currently supports this non-compliant behaviour. But
(a) you have to explicitly enable it and (b) you create a hidden implementation
dependency. So I would discourage from using it.
Rather I would solve the problem as follows:
* Create a regular factory component (your second example)
* Create another component having a service reference to the
ComponentFactory service of the factory component. This
second component has instances created for factory
configuration. This component manages factory component
instances for the factory configurations.
