Vague exception when using a factory on a page-scoped component
---------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-4032
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-4032
             Project: Seam
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 2.1.1.GA
            Reporter: Matthew Lieder


The following code will cause an unhelpful NPE to be thrown by JSF when the factory is accessed:

@Name("someComponent")
@Scope(ScopeType.PAGE)
public class SomeComponent implements Serializable {

@Factory("someVar")
public String getSomeVar() {
return null;
}

}

While I believe I remember reading that using that particular type of factory method on a page-scoped component isn't supported (supported by the fact that removing the @Scope makes it work), the exception should at least be somewhat helpful in debugging the problem. NPE's with no messages are about as unfriendly as one can get.
