[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Configuring POJOs as Seam Components in components.xml

I'm using 1.2.0.nightly Is it legal to configure POJOs as Seam components in components.xml? For example: <component name="expanderState" class="java.util.HashMap" auto-create="true" scope="conversation"/> I get: | java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not create Component: expanderState | at org.jboss.seam.init.Initialization.addComponent(Initialization.java:910) | at org.jboss.seam.init.Initialization.installComponents(Initialization.java:841) | at org.jboss.seam.init.Initialization.init(Initialization.java:508) | at org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamListener.contextInitialized(SeamListener.java:34) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.listenerStart(StandardContext.java:3764) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:4216) | at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1014) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.start(StandardHost.java:736) | at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1014) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine.start(StandardEngine.java:443) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.start(StandardService.java:448) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.start(StandardServer.java:700) | at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:552) | at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) | at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:64) | at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) | at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:615) | at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.start(Bootstrap.java:295) | at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:433) | Caused by: | java.lang.NullPointerException | at org.jboss.seam.init.DeploymentDescriptor.<init>(DeploymentDescriptor.java:33) | at org.jboss.seam.Seam.getEjbDescriptor(Seam.java:51) | at org.jboss.seam.Seam.getComponentType(Seam.java:102) | at org.jboss.seam.Component.<init>(Component.java:216) | at org.jboss.seam.Component.<init>(Component.java:207) | at org.jboss.seam.init.Initialization.addComponent(Initialization.java:896) | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4063266#...
