The Lookup is just a 'HashSet' where a single instance for your service is
added at startup (more or less).
That's the only relationship between the two. Creating further objects does
not add them to the Lookup, they are just normal Java objects created with
a constructor.
I wonder if you could use SharedClassObject although that's an old
deprecated class and I'm not sure if new instances auto-add themselves. You
can probably implement something like this yourself but it's an odd pattern.
