  // Get property validation rules
  List<PropertyValidationRuleVO> validationRules = deviceUser
  		.getPropertyValidationRules();
  
  // Bellow shows how to use PropertyDefinition2VO and
  // PropertyValidationRuleVO
  
  // Get the Property Definition for property ID 2.
  PropertyDefinition2VO propMetadataWithIDTwo = null;
  for (PropertyDefinition2VO propMetadata : definitions) {
  	if (propMetadata.getID() == 2) {
  		propMetadataWithIDTwo = propMetadata;
  	}
  }
  // Get the Property Validation Rule for propMetadataWithIDTwo.
  PropertyValidationRuleVO validationRule = null;
  for (PropertyValidationRuleVO rule : validationRules) {
  	if (rule.getValidationID() == propMetadataWithIDTwo
  			.getValidateRuleID()) {
  		validationRule = rule;
  	}
  }
  PropertyItemVO propertyItem = new PropertyItemVO();
  propertyItem.setPropertyID(2);
  int value = 5001;
  // validate the property value
  if (value < validationRule.getMinValue()
  		|| validationRule.getMaxValue() < value) {
  	throw new Exception("the value is not valid!");
  }
  // Now the value is valid, set the value.
  propertyItem.setPropertyValue(value);
