In the Component.getInstanceFromFactory() the String name passed in is org.jboss.seam.core.localeSelector Which is then used to call init.getFactory()/getFactoryMethodBinding()/getFactoryValueBinding(). I am guessing that the getFactoryValueBinding() should return something. The map factoryValueBindings in Init is populated but the keys are the short versions e.g. localeSelector, so null is returned from all 3 methods. Any specific info I can give to track this down please let me know. Cheers. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3991376#...
