## property

Specifies a property. A property adds configuration information to its parent element that is one or both of the following:

- Optional with respect to the Application Server

- Needed by a system or object that the Application Server doesn’t have knowledge of, such as an LDAP server or a Java class

  For example, an `auth-realm` element can include `property` subelements:

      <auth-realm name="file"
           classname="com.sun.enterprise.security.auth.realm.file.FileRealm">
           <property name="file" value="domain-dir/config/keyfile"/>
           <property name="jaas-context" value="fileRealm"/>
       </auth-realm>

  Which properties an `auth-realm` element uses depends on the value of the `auth-realm` element’s `name` attribute. The `file` realm uses `file` and `jaas-context` properties. Other realms use different properties.
