It should be able to get the mapped views by the mapped names instead
of by whatever original name they have.
I guess you ask whether it should get the defaultView because the
input view is unmapped?

Well, what do you map it to? The mapping allows you to have a global set
of view names and a set of local view names for each component. E.g.
your component should postulate that it expects the input data in a view
called "INPUT" (hardcoded - no parameter). Then you use a sofa mapping to
map a global view name to the local name "INPUT" on your AE.
