Oh - I was assuming that implicit binding & automatic binding were identical - just had a different trigger. Maybe it would be worth spelling out that implicit binding is **not** affected by the property then? For my own curiosity - is it because automatic binding is performed by our java implementation while implicit binding is performed by the system?
