Dear monks,

is there a sane way how to make Catalyst application use controllers, views or models from other namespace?

Imagine MyApp, YourApp applications which want to use OurApp::Controller::Request, OurApp::View::Mason, OurApp::Model::Customer components.

I can easily load the components:

__PACKAGE__->config(
    setup_components => {
        search_extra => [qw(OurApp::Controller OurApp::Model OurApp::V
+iew)],
    }
);

But I would also like the loaded components to be reached via $c->view('Mason'), $c->model('Customer::Request'), $c->controller('Request') and let the Mason view be the default one.

Has anyone dealt with a similar situation? I appreciate any advice.
