An <property> tag can contain zero or more <attribute> tags. The <attribute> tag is an empty tag that defines the property’s feature descriptor value or values. This tag lets you associate arbitrary name/string value pairs with any property. The name/value pairs are added to the property’s property descriptor via the setValue method of java.beans.FeatureDescriptor, and can later be used by the application. Here is an example:

<property name="employeeNumber" data-type="string">
  <attribute name="unique" value="true"/>
</property>
