Telephony bean properties

Properties are attributes of a bean that affect the behavior of the bean. Properties, which can be monitored and controlled by the application, comprise one or more of the following attributes:

Read (R)

Indicates that the bean provides a getProperty() method to read or query the specified property.

Write (W)

Indicates that the bean provides a setProperty(value) method to set or write the specified property for a particular Action bean.

Bounded (B)

Indicates that the bean notifies other objects with a PropertyChange event (that contains the specific property, new value, and old value) whenever it determines that the value of the property has changed.

Transient (T)

Indicates that the setting of the property value is valid only during the instantiation of the bean. This attribute is mutually exclusive with the Persistent attribute.

Persistent (P)

Indicates that the setting of the property value is valid during the instantiation of the bean and also when it is saved using serialization (across instantiations). This attribute is mutually exclusive with the Transient attribute.
