Failover CM hosts in Java apps

To make sure that your Java application only connects to one CM server, take out the failover entry in the Infranet.properties file.

This has caused a lot of grief with a colleague because he was canceling products thinking he was connected to a test environment but was actually connected to production. The test environment was down and he had a failover entry for the production environment in his properties file.

To avoid this situation, better comment this entry (Infranet.failover.nn) out.
