Class PropertyInfo

java.lang.Object
  org.jboss.dna.jcr.cache.PropertyInfo

@Immutable
public class PropertyInfo
extends Object

An immutable representation of the name and current value(s) for a property, along with the JCR metadata for the property, including the property definition and property type.

This class is immutable, which means that clients should never hold onto an instance. Instead, clients can obtain an instance by using a PropertyId, quickly use the information in the instance, and then immediately discard their reference. This is because these instances are replaced and discarded whenever anything about the property changes.
