From what i read in the MC docs http://www.jboss.org/file-access/default/members/jbossmc/freezone/docs/2...., i was under the impression that components are scoped within deployment units: "MC docs" wrote : Components are never considered top-level deployments Also, since the components are added/accessed within a DeploymentUnit (based on the DU.getComponent/DU.addComponent APIs), i thought the Deployers were responsible for ensuring that the component name is unique within that deployment unit, without having to worry about the uniqueness across deployment units.
