Class PropertyFactory

loci.poi.poifs.property.PropertyFactory

 class PropertyFactory
extends Object

Factory for turning an array of RawDataBlock instances containing Proprty data into an array of proper Property objects. The array produced may be sparse, in that any portion of data that should correspond to a Property, but which does not map to a proper Property (i.e., a DirectoryProperty, DocumentProperty, or RootProperty) will get mapped to a null Property in the array.
