No. I just want aliasing at a particular page scope. Or I won't use qualified names for my components. Factories in component.xml as defined in Seam reference doc is not convenient for that as far as I understood. In a large application you may use my.package.manager bean in some pages, and another my.other.package.manager in an other. And yet want to use #{manager} in both because you know which one you want.
