Component lookup by @Name fails

[cba2]

i would like to lookup my EntityQuery component that should be registered under @Name("employeeList") using Contexts.lookupInStatefulContexts("employeeList") but i alway get null as a return value.

what am i doing wrong?

i have the following simple entity query:
@Name("employeeList")
public class EmployeeList extends EntityQuery
{
@Override
public String getEjbql()
{
return "select employee from Employee employee order by lastname";
}
}

Perhaps its not created yet.

Use COmponent.getInstance(name) instead.
