Properties

Each resource has properties.

To modify the properties of a resource, work in either the Properties view or the Properties section of a service editor. Another method of viewing properties is to right-click a resource in the WorkSpace Navigator and select Properties from the context menu to open the Properties dialog box. You can view properties and make limited changes in this dialog box.

The Properties view displays the basic properties of a selected resource. If the resource can be edited, which is indicated by a true value in the Value column, you can make changes in this view, for example, you can change the name.

The Properties section of a service editor displays the properties of the resource selected in the editor. You can add and modify properties in the section. Because the Properties section is part of the service editor, if you maximize the service editor, the Properties section is available.

The Properties dialog box usually displays the same properties as the Properties view. The kinds of properties displayed depend on the selected resource. In this dialog box, you can change certain properties and reset properties to their default.

The Properties view of the Web Application Development perspective displays the properties of a resource selected in the Web Page, JSF Application Configuration, web.xml, or Resource Bundle editor. The Web Application Development Properties view is similar to the default Properties view, but, when certain controls are selected, it contains two tabs: Quick Edit and Attributes.
