I would just call your ProgrammaticSetter a ConfigurationReference. We also need to add "name" annotation field just as we had it in @configRef. A couple of annotation fields in ConfigurationReference annotation should be able to handle all these cases of naming elements, direct comments insertion or picking comments up from somewhere else etc etc<div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Vladimir<br><div><br><div><div>On 2010-09-14, at 1:04 PM, Manik Surtani wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Essentially the crux of the problem is that we currently use the Configuration bean for programmatic configuration.
