Seam is trying to create your session component by looking up the bean in JNDI. Seam will try to use a pattern for the name as specified by the jndi-name initialization parameter. This is usually something like myEarName/#{ejbName}/local. So, seam will use the name of your component as specified by @Name. Look at sec 19.1.2 in the reference docs as well as 20.1 for information on the @JndiName annotation that you should use.
