Class PropertyMetadata

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable


    public class PropertyMetadata
    extends Object
    implements Serializable
    Simple container class used for storing "additional" metadata about properties. Carved out to reduce number of distinct properties that actual property implementations and placeholders need to store; since instances are immutable, they can be freely shared.
