Description

(recreated from ISIS-1082, which has got incorrect commits against it).

In a domain entity I wanted to use a property with a default value:

private boolean flag = true;
// getter & setter

Surprisingly Isis re-initialized its value to 'false' after creating the instance by using the setter.

http://isis.apache.org/more-advanced-topics/how-to-07-010-How-to-set-up-the-initial-value-of-a-property-programmatically.html explains the behavior but maybe we should rething whether Isis should initialize the properties at all.
