An annotation used to specify some property-related information for the
automatically generated
BeanInfo classes. This annotation is not used
if the annotated class has a corresponding user-defined BeanInfo
class, which does not imply the automatic analysis. If both the read and the
write methods of the property are annotated, then the read method annotation
will have more priority and replace the write method annotation.- Since:
