Property Override not applied on artefact reload

Hello,

I a am trying to use Property Override Configuration as described in chapter 14.6. I have a service like this :

class MyService {
File submitDirectory
....
}

In Config.groovy, I put the following lines :

beans {
myService

}

This works: the String is correctly assigned as the File property in MyService. But in development mode, as soon as I modify MyService the submitDirectory field becomes null. It is as if the reload did not apply property overrides...
