Adam,

if this would be the first time i talk to Adrian, I agree you were
right, however this discussion has a long history with other
discussions, i tried your approach many times, but i cannot get Adrian
to answer simple questions on the business level. Technically no
problem, very good to have Adrian on the team.

An example:
Provide a valid business reason why the system would not work with my
change. (he says i 'break' it, it is however working fin here.)

So to repeat again what i changed: The properties file can only be
overridden in the case when the widget comments are switched off. So
specific web applications can be switched on if required in the web.xml

Before also true could be overridden which was painfully shown in the
example component not showing comments. I see no valid business reason
why we should have that.

I also added documentation to support this, because that was also a week
point of the original change.

Regards,
Hans
