Seam and APPLICATION scope on Windoze

[tony.herstell1]

given

components.xml

     <factory name="basePath" scope="APPLICATION"
          value="#{facesContext.externalContext.request.scheme}://#{facesContext.externalContext.request.serverName}:#{facesContext.externalContext.request.serverPort}#{facesContext.externalContext.request.contextPath}/" auto-create="true"/>

     <factory name="scheme" scope="APPLICATION" value="#{facesContext.externalContext.request.scheme}" auto-create="true"/>
     <factory name="servername" scope="APPLICATION" value="#{facesContext.externalContext.request.serverName}" auto-create="true"/>
     <factory name="serverport" scope="APPLICATION" value="#{facesContext.externalContext.request.serverPort}" auto-create="true"/>
         <factory name="contextPath" scope="APPLICATION" value="#{facesContext.externalContext.request.contextPath}" auto-create="true"/>
          

and a class:

@Factory(scope = ScopeType.APPLICATION, value = "allCountries")
    public List<String> findAllCountries() {

ONLY contextPath appears when run up under jboss5 on Windoze but all appear with Jboss5 on Ubuntu.

Any ideas (apart from don't use windoze for dev!) ;)

Fresh deploy onto Ubuntu and they are missing there too.

Time to investigate.

Odd default being false; factories are supposed to create stuff for you.
There must be a reason.
