Finding out a component's runtime name from within itself

[jbmadair]

If a component is created in components.xml with a new name, for instance:

 <component name="newName"
 class="com.xyz.OriginalName" />

How can it find out its own name from within itself.

This is frequently needed when I outject a context variable, and at other times. I've searched for a solution, and I have a feeling I'm missing something completely obvious.

I of course realize that its easy to discover the name within a @Name annotation, but that's not really as interesting as the real runtime name.

Thanks!

Seam.getComponentName(class);

That was obvious!

I hadn't noticed the change (rev 1.29) since the last time I checked that method for this capability :-)

Thanks!
