Property Service
This service defines name/value pairs that can be assigned to objects, without being explicitly defined or required by their IDL interfaces. Properties can represent any application-specific attributes that can be used to tag objects for various purposes.
The Property Service provides interfaces for defining, initializing, and iterating through sets of properties, but it doesn’t specify how properties are associated with objects, believing this to be an implementation detail.
A set of properties is represented by the
PropertySet interface, which allows you to
create, modify, or delete properties in the set. A property is
represented as a string name and an Any value. A
subclass of PropertySet,
PropertySetDef, allows you to query for metadata
about the properties (e.g., whether each is read/write or read-only).
A PropertiesIterator can be used to iterate
through the contents of a set, and a
PropertySetFactory allows you to create new
PropertySet objects.
