POService (uses service factory) to return objects of different types

Body
copied!<p>I need to create a service, which uses another factory service, and return objects of different types.<br> Here's a definitions of my services:</p> <pre><code>services: games.search_factory: class: %games.search_factory.class% calls: - [ setContainer, ["@service_container"] ] games.search: class: %games.search.base.class% factory_service: games.search_factory factory_method: get </code></pre> <p>My <code>%games.search_factory.class%</code> <em>get</em> method returns different objects depending on the request parameters.<br> My <code>%games.search.base.class%</code> is abstract.<br> My goal is - when I call</p> <pre><code>$this->get("games.search"); </code></pre> <p>I want to get the result of factory method. But when I run the code, I get an error: <strong>FatalErrorException: Error: Cannot instantiate abstract class</strong>.</p> <p>So I have two questions: </p> <ol> <li>Why does DI system try to instantiate my class, instead of returning the result of my factory method?</li> <li>Is there a way to implement what I need (nicely and concisely)?</li> </ol> <p><strong>Update:</strong> I had a bug in the part of code, which is not shown here. Besides these two services for search, I had a service for each search type, and returned these services from a factory. But in the definition of these services, I've used my base class (which is abstract) as a class. </p> <p>So nice conclusion is that <strong><em>it is possible to return an objects of different types from a factory.</em></strong></p>
