11.1. Bean properties

Some of the class instances created by the means of the class element may be parameterized using property child elements. A property child element specifies a Bean (that is, a Java™ Object) property.

Example:

<property name="columns" type="int" value="40" />

implies that the bean to be parametrized has a public method which resembles:

setColumns(int number)

Such properties are completely specific to the bean they parametrize and therefore, cannot be described in this section.
