Starting location for access to all OmeroApi services. When working with JBoss over RMI, the ServiceFactory is a client-side object:

   ome.system.ServiceFactory sf = new ome.system.ServiceFactory();
   sf = new ServiceFactory(new ome.system.Login("user","password"));
   sf = new ServiceFactory(new ome.system.Server("localhost"));
   // etc.

As of milestone:3.0-Beta3, the ServiceFactory also interacts with the OmeroSessions API, and transparently creates a session for you to preserve backwards compatibility.

When working with OmeroBlitz, the ServiceFactory is created on the server, and a proxy is returned to the client.

   import omero
   c = omero.client()
   sf = c.createSession("username", "password");
