Dan Allen commented on JBSEAM-3152:
-----------------------------------

No, the problem is that JavaScript doesn't official support namespaces. It's just possible to emulate namespaces by assigning creating a new object for each segment. Basically, for the example I gave, it would have to be setup as follows:

Seam.Remoting.type.com = new Object();
Seam.Remoting.type.mydomain = new Object();
Seam.Remoting.type.mydomain.throwaway = new Object();
Seam.Remoting.type.mydomain.throwaway.manager = new Object();

Then, you can actually use that "namespace".

It's possible to use a function if we want to allow the dot:

> Remoting does not escape dots in a component name, thus generating JavaScript that does not run. For instance, if the name of the component is com.example.remoting.componentName, the InterfaceGenerator produces:
> Seam.Remoting.type.com.mydomain.throwaway.manager.prototype.methodName = ...
> Obviously, this isn't going to work. A reasonable quick fix is to replace dots with underscores.
