I have a specialized Identity component which is configured thus: | @Name("org.jboss.seam.security.identity") | @Scope(SESSION) | @Install(precedence=APPLICATION) | @Startup | public class MyIdentity extends Identity { | ... | } | Within this class I have a method which is annotated @Observer("myEvent") Seam Validator doesn't like this and announces an error: "Only component class can have @Observer method ..." The class compiles ok and runs as expected (i.e. the @Observer method is called) Is this a bug or is there something wrong with my configuration?
