StackOverflowError Shenanigans

[jimk1723]

I made the mistake of naming one of my Seam components "org" for my organization entities, e.g. @Factory("org"). Seam blew up. Is this one for JIRA or is there a best practices document for component naming?

I'll spare you the 50 page stacktrace and include only the coup de'gras:

This looks like a side-effect of Gavin's change to allow you to use fully-qualified component names using a "." as a separator instead of "$". All of the seam components are "org.jboss.seam.*". If you override "org", things can blow up.

It might be possible for us to change the seam component naming to "seam.*" but that would only solve the short term problem. So, for now - avoid "org" and any other toplevel namespace components that you are likely to use.
