>                 Key: FELIX-6050
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-6050
>             Project: Felix
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Declarative Services (SCR)
>    Affects Versions: scr-2.1.14
>            Reporter: Thomas Watson
>            Assignee: Thomas Watson
>            Priority: Minor
>
> The SCR implementation has two classes that keep track of prototype 
> references from a service component:
> org.apache.felix.scr.impl.manager.MultiplePrototypeRefPair
> org.apache.felix.scr.impl.manager.SinglePrototypeRefPair
> I'm not entirely sure what motivated the need for Multiple vs. Single here.  
> The Single one gets used if the service component is a singleton service 
> component.  The Multiple one gets used for service components that are bundle 
> or prototype service components.  The Multiple one will key the instances of 
> the referenced prototype service by the ComponentContextImpl for the 
> requiring service component.  That way if there are multiple instances of the 
> requiring component each instance (and therefore ComponentContextImpl 
> insteance) will get a unique instance of the required prototype service.
> It appears the thought was that some optimizations could have been realized 
> for the Singleton case so it has a specialized class separate from Multiple.  
> But I think this only makes the code hard to understand and I question that 
> the current state of the code is providing any performance improvement.
> I propose we remove the SinglePrototypeRefPair and rename the 
> MultiplePrototypeRefPair to be simply PrototypeRefPair.
