```
    Sets the property DefaultValueString. This is a string version of the default value for this property if it is not explicitly set. If it is null, no default is used. When you set this property, the value is automatically converted to the correct type and set.
    You should set this after you've defined the data type for the descriptor so that the conversion can be performed correctly. In some cases, the data type is determined by the type of the column that this is associated with so make sure that the column is defined too.
    
    Parameters:
    
    pDefaultValueString - value to set
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the conversion to the correct data type fails

  - setPropertyType
```
public void setPropertyType(java.lang.Class pPropertyType)
```
    Description copied from class: DynamicPropertyDescriptor
    
    Sets property PropertyType: the class which this property can be expected to have at runtime.
    
    Overrides:
    
    setPropertyType in class DynamicPropertyDescriptor
  - setCascadeInsert
```
public void setCascadeInsert(boolean pCascadeInsert)
```
    Sets the property CascadeInsert. If this is true on a property that refers to another item, the create operation will automatically create a new item in the referenced repository and set the value of this property to it. Typically this should be used in conjunction with CascadeUpdate so that this value gets added and updated at the same time as well. The default is false. You cannot set this to true for properties which do not refer to other items.
    
    Parameters:
    
    pCascadeInsert - new value to set
  - getCascadeInsert
```
public boolean getCascadeInsert()
```
    Returns:
    
    The value of the property CascadeInsert.
  - setCascadeUpdate
```
public void setCascadeUpdate(boolean pCascadeUpdate)
```
    Sets the property CascadeUpdate. If this is true on a property that refers to another item (or items), the add and update operations apply recursively to the referenced item (or items). More specifically, setting this property to true on a property descriptor changes the behavior of the system in the following ways:
    - when you have a mutable version of the item, any referenced items are returned as mutable when you call getPropertyValue.
    - when you add the item, any referenced items that are transient are automatically added
    - when you update the item, any referenced items that have been modified are automatically updated.
    The default is false. You cannot set this to true for properties which do not refer to other items.
    Parameters:
    
    pCascadeUpdate - new value to set
  - getCascadeUpdate
```
public boolean getCascadeUpdate()
```
    Returns:
    
    The value of the property CascadeUpdate.
  - setCascadeDelete
```
public void setCascadeDelete(boolean pCascadeDelete)
```
    Sets the property CascadeDelete. If this is true on a property that refers to another item (or items), the remove operation applies recursively to the referenced item (or items). More specifically, setting this property to true on a property descriptor changes the behavior of the system in the following ways:
    - when an item is removed, any items referenced by a cascade delete=true property are also removed.
    The default is false. You cannot set this to true for properties which do not refer to other items.
    Parameters:
    
    pCascadeDelete - new value to set
  - getCascadeDelete
```
public boolean getCascadeDelete()
```
    Returns:
    
    The value of the property CascadeDelete.
  - setItemDescriptor
```
public void setItemDescriptor(RepositoryItemDescriptor pItemDescriptor)
```
    Set property ItemDescriptor. This is the item descriptor that contains this property descriptor. Do not confuse this with the propertyItemDescriptor or componentItemDescriptor properties which define the type of a property which refers to other items.
    
    Parameters:
    
    pItemDescriptor - new value to set
  - getItemDescriptor
```
public RepositoryItemDescriptor getItemDescriptor()
```
    Get property ItemDescriptor
    
    Returns:
    
    ItemDescriptor
  - setPropertyItemDescriptor
```
public void setPropertyItemDescriptor(RepositoryItemDescriptor pPropertyItemDescriptor)
```
    Sets the property PropertyItemDescriptor. If this property refers to another item's type, this is the item descriptor for that type.
    
    Parameters:
    
    pPropertyItemDescriptor - new value to set
  - getPropertyItemDescriptor
```
public RepositoryItemDescriptor getPropertyItemDescriptor()
```
    Returns:
    
    The value of the property PropertyItemDescriptor.
  - getPropertyBeanInfo

    Overrides:
    
    getPropertyBeanInfo in class DynamicPropertyDescriptor
    
    Throws:
    
    java.beans.IntrospectionException
  - getComponentPropertyBeanInfo
```
public DynamicBeanInfo getComponentPropertyBeanInfo()

    java.beans.IntrospectionException
  - setComponentItemDescriptor
```
public void setComponentItemDescriptor(RepositoryItemDescriptor pComponentItemDescriptor)
```
    Sets the property ComponentItemDescriptor. If this is a collection of items, this is the item descriptor of the component type.
    
    Parameters:
    
    pComponentItemDescriptor - new value to set
  - getComponentItemDescriptor
```
public RepositoryItemDescriptor getComponentItemDescriptor()
```

                                         java.lang.Object pValue)
```
    This method is called to retrieve a read-only value for this property. Once a repository has computed the value it would like to return for this property, this property descriptor gets a chance to modify it based on how the property is defined. For example, if null is to be returned, we return the default value.
  - setPropertyValue
```
public void setPropertyValue(RepositoryItemImpl pItem,
                             java.lang.Object pValue)
```
    Sets the property of this type for the item descriptor provided.
  - getTypeName
```
public java.lang.String getTypeName()
```
    Returns the name used for this type in the property descriptor. For properties which refer to built-in property types, this returns the name of the data type. For example, an "int" property will return "int" for this method. All other property types should return null from this method.
  - getEnumeratedValues
```
public java.lang.String[] getEnumeratedValues()
```
    If this is an enumerated type, return a list of the options associated with it. Otherwise, return null.
  - getEnumeratedLocalizedValuesMapping
```
public java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> getEnumeratedLocalizedValuesMapping(java.util.Locale pLocale)
```
    If this is an enumerated type, return a mapping of non-localized values to localized values for a particular locale. If not localized or if there are no mappings for that locale, return null. If only a partial mapping exists, only return map keys for the localized values that exist.
  - isLocalizable
```
public boolean isLocalizable()
```
    Returns whether or not the property is localizable, which is to say whether locale-based values can be retrieved and possibly saved through this property.
  - createPropertyDescriptorFromType
```
public static RepositoryPropertyDescriptor createPropertyDescriptorFromType(java.lang.String pType)
```
    Creates a new RepositoryPropertyDescriptor of a given type.
  - registerPropertyDescriptorClass

                                                   java.lang.Class pClass)
```
    Adds a new type of PropertyDescriptor to repositories which support user-defined property descriptors. These property descriptors implement the getPropertyValue operation given a RepositoryItem. They compute the return the value of a property of a given name.

  - getLocalizedResourceBundle
```
public java.util.ResourceBundle getLocalizedResourceBundle(java.util.Locale pLocale)
```

    Overrides:
    
    getLocalizedResourceBundle in class SerializableFeatureDescriptor
    
    Parameters:
    
    pLocale - The locale to review the resource bundle for.
    
    Returns:

    Override the getResourceBundle method which is used to localize values for this property descriptor to the server locale. If a resource bundle is not defined specifically for this property, we look and use the one for the item-descriptor to which this property belongs.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getResourceBundle in class SerializableFeatureDescriptor
  - getResourceBundleName
```
public java.lang.String getResourceBundleName()
```
    Returns the bundle name used by this resource bundle
  - setResourceBundleName
```
public void setResourceBundleName(java.lang.String pResourceBundleName)
```
    Sets the bundle name used for this resource bundle. This is to make it look like we have a resourcebundlename property. Its to make the i18n stuff added into the GSA templates useable from the HTML and XML simple repositories, so that the Quincy funds demo's can be localized. The other option was to add functionality to allow setting of arbitrary feature descriptor properties, but for now this does the trick for i18n, and is the most localized [pun intended] fix.
  - getValue
```
public java.lang.Object getValue(java.lang.String pAttributeName)
```
    Retrieve a named attribute with this feature.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getValue in class java.beans.FeatureDescriptor
    
    Parameters:
    
    attributeName - The locale-independent name of the attribute
    
    Returns:
    
    The value of the attribute. May be null if the attribute is unknown.
  - setValue
```
public void setValue(java.lang.String pAttributeName,
                     java.lang.Object pValue)
```
    Associate a named attribute with this feature.
    
    Overrides:
    
    setValue in class java.beans.FeatureDescriptor
    
    Parameters:
    
    attributeName - The locale-independent name of the attribute
    
    value - The value.
  - getAttributeNames
```
public java.util.List<java.lang.String> getAttributeNames()
```
    Returns the names of the attributes, in no particular order. Same return value as FeatureDescriptor.attributeNames().
  - isAssignableFrom
```
public boolean isAssignableFrom(RepositoryPropertyDescriptor pOther)
```
    Determine if properties of this type can be assigned values from objects of the specified property descriptor. This is done strictly, which means that two Lists are not considered compatible unless their component type is also the same.
    
    Parameters:
    
    pOther - the property descriptor defining the other type, must be non-null
    
    Returns:
    
    true if objects of this property descriptor can be assigned values from objects of the specified property descriptor, else false.
  - toString
```
public java.lang.String toString()
```
    Return a string representation of this object
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class SerializableFeatureDescriptor
    
    Returns:
    
    a string representation of this object
