The <property> element maps the found object's properties to Java properties or method calls.

You can call on the methods of the SDKFinderProperty class when you implement the plug-in factory to obtain properties for the plug-in factory implementation to process.

You can show or hide object properties in the views in the Orchestrator client. You can also use enumerations to define object properties.

The <property> element is optional. A plug-in can have an unlimited number of <property> elements. The <property> element has the following attributes.

Attributes	Value	Description
name	Finder name	The name the FinderResult uses to store the element. Mandatory attribute.
display-name	Finder name	The displayed property name. Optional attribute.
bean-property	Property name	You use the bean-property attribute to identify a property to obtain using get and set operations. If you identify a property named MyProperty, the plug-in defines getMyProperty and setMyProperty operations. You set one or the other of bean-property or property-accessor, but not both. Optional attribute.
property-accessor	The method that obtains a property value from an object	The property-accessor attribute allows you to define an OGNL expression to validate an object's properties. You set one or the other of bean-property or property-accessor, but not both. Optional attribute.
