Custom property settings
Use this page to specify the attributes of custom properties that might be required for resource providers and resource factories.
According to the resource type with which a property collection is associated, your ability to modify individual property settings varies. Therefore, consider the following descriptions as a general reference for custom property settings. (The administrative console page that you are using to configure your custom property might only allow you to modify a subset of the following settings.)
You can access this administrative console page through several different paths, depending on the type of resource to which the custom properties belong, for example: .

| Data type | Determined by the Type field. If the Type is java.lang.String,
the text entered into the Value field is interpreted as a string.
Similarly, if the Type is java.lang.Integer, the
Value field is interpreted as numeric. This means that the text that
is entered for the Value field must be able to be interpreted as indicated
by the Type field, otherwise an error occurs. For example, attempting
to create a property with a Type of java.lang.Integer and
a Value of someValue results in an error. Only
a numeric value can be properly interpreted for any of the available
numeric types. |
