      • isPropertySet

        boolean isPropertySet​(Object id)
        IPropertySource2 overrides the specification of this IPropertySource method to return true instead of false if the specified property does not have a meaningful default value. isPropertyResettable will only be called if isPropertySet returns true.

        Returns whether the value of the property with the given id has changed from its default value. Returns false if this source does not have the specified property.

        If the notion of default value is not meaningful for the specified property then true is returned.

        Specified by:
        isPropertySet in interface IPropertySource
        Parameters:
        id - the id of the property
        Returns:
        true if the value of the specified property has changed from its original default value, true if the specified property does not have a meaningful default value, and false if this source does not have the specified property
