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.

`type`	Corresponding Java™ type	Syntax of `value`	Example
boolean	`boolean`	true, false	`true`
byte	`byte`	integer: -128 to 127 inclusive	`100`

long	`long`	integer: -9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807, inclusive	`255`
float	`float`	single-precision 32-bit format IEEE 754	`-0.5`
double	`double`	double-precision 64-bit format IEEE 754	`1.0`
String	`java.lang.String`	A string	`Hello, world!`
URL	`java.net.URL`	An absolute or relative URI. A relative URI is relative to the URI of the file containing the configuration element.	`css/toc.css`
