Is it working? i.e. If I specify an alternate EntityManager in components.xml it isn't being injected: <component name="org.jboss.seam.selectitems.SelectItemsConfig"> | <property name="entityManager">#{MyAlternateEM}</property> | </component> I know 'MyAlternateEM' exists as the rest of my app is using it, and if I debug org.jboss.seam.selectitems.Config#find(Class,Object) and change the String 'entityManager' passed into Component.getInstance() to 'MyAlternateEM' all is well. (I've also tried dropping the '#{' and '}' from around 'MyAlternateEM' in components.xml to no avail) Any ideas?
