Annotation Interface Property

@Retention(RUNTIME) @Target(METHOD) @Inherited public @interface Property
Annotation added to setter methods that identify auto-configurable properties. The methods must follow JavaBean conventions. For a property named foo, then we expected to see the methods: 
    public void setFoo(T value) { ... }
    public T getFoo() { ... }
The following types are supported:
  • Any Java primitive type (int, double, boolean, etc.)
  • String
  • Any enumeration - the properties are automatically converted to strings
  • Variation - the instance is created using OperatorFactory.getInstance().getVariation(value)
  • Mutation - same as Variation except only supports one parent
If the type is boolean, then the getter can alternatively be named isFoo.

    • value

      String value
      The name of this property. If unset, the name is derived from the method name. To help disambiguate property names, especially for variation operators, consider adding the Prefix annotation.

      ""

    • readOnly

      boolean readOnly
      Indicates this property is read-only. When true, this annotation may only exist on the getter method.

      false
