Detailed Description

AbstractPropertyType is a homogeneous property type handle to an existing property type.

You can use AbstractPropertyType to operate on property types when a property type and its data type are unknown or irrelevant. It is usually more convenient to pass AbstractPropertyType as a function argument instead of specifying the exact property type with certain data type.

You can pass AbstractPropertyType directly to functions taking com.rightware.kanzi.PropertyType argument. You can also query all property type info directly from AbstractPropertyType.

When data type information is known, you should use com.rightware.kanzi.DynamicPropertyType instead.
