Re: [QF-Test] [Multiple name method] how to resolve this problem

[Martin Moser <martin.moser@?.de>]

Hi Sreeram,

you have two components with the same name.
As the name of the component is the most crucial part for recognizing the 
component it has to be unique.
The simplest solution is to fix it in the source code, if the name has been 
set by developers.
The second way of solving it might be to implement a NameResolver, where 
you specify an algorithm of setting the name unique.
If the duplicate name is caused by an existing NameResolver you will need 
to fix this.
Resolvers are described in the manual chapter "39.1 Resolver hooks" or 
<http://www.qfs.de/qftest/manual/en/tech_nameresolvers.html#sec_nameresolvers>.
Please note that the name of a component stands mostly for the "id" web tag 
in web components.
Best Regards,
Martin
