3.1.4.2.2.1.2 Properties Type

The Properties type consists of a PropertyList element, which itself consists of a collection of Request properties. Each property allows the user to control the aspect of a Discover or Execute method that is documented in the Description column of the table in section 3.1.4.2.2.1.2.1, such as defining the information required for the connection, specifying the return format of the result set, or specifying the locale in which the data is to be formatted.

The available properties and their values can be obtained by using the DISCOVER_PROPERTIES request type with the Discover method. There is no required order for the properties that are listed in the Properties element. This element MUST be included, but it can be empty.

The Properties element MUST contain one and only one PropertyList element, of type PropertyList. The PropertyList type is defined in section 3.1.4.2.2.1.2.1.
