    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - NAME
```
public static final int NAME
```
    A NAME is a pairing of a namespace and a local name. When read, the namespace is mapped to the current prefix.

  - PATH
```
public static final int PATH
```
    A PATH property is an ordered list of path elements. A path element is a NAME with an optional index. When read, the NAMEs within the path are mapped to their current prefix. A path may be absolute or relative.

  - REFERENCE
```
public static final int REFERENCE
```
    A REFERENCE property stores the identifier of a referenceable node (one having type mix:referenceable), which must exist within the same workspace or session as the REFERENCE property. A REFERENCE property enforces this referential integrity by preventing the removal of its target node.
    
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - WEAKREFERENCE
```
public static final int WEAKREFERENCE
```
    A WEAKREFERENCE property stores the identifier of a referenceable node (one having type mix:referenceable). A WEAKREFERENCE property does not enforce referential integrity.
    
    Since:
    
    JCR 2.0
    
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - URI
```
public static final int URI

    JCR 2.0
    
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - DECIMAL
```
public static final int DECIMAL

  - UNDEFINED
```
public static final int UNDEFINED
```
    This constant can be used within a property definition (see 4.7.5 Property Definitions) to specify that the property in question may be of any type. However, it cannot be the actual type of any property instance. For example, it will never be returned by Property.getType() and it cannot be assigned as the type when creating a new property.
