EXPORTS

       get_allowed_property_types(PropertySetDef) -> Reply

              Types:

                 PropertySetDef = #objref
                 Reply = {ok, PropertyTypes}
                 PropertyTypes = [CORBA::TypeCode]

              This operation return the TypeCodes which we are allowed to  use  when  adding  new
              properties.

              This operation a sequence of the allowed properties we may alter; depends on  which
              mode associated with a certain property.

                 #CosPropertyService_ReadOnlyProperty{}}

              This operation attempts to associate a new property with the target object.  If  we
              fail to do so the appropriate exception is raised.

              This operation attempts to associate the given Property Definitions with the target
              object.  If  one  or  more  attempts  fail  an exception is raised describing which
              properties we where not able to create.

              This operation returns the modes of the listed properties. If the boolean  flag  is
              false, all properties with mode undefined this operation failed to comply.

                 #CosPropertyService_PropertyNotFound{}}

              This  operation changes the given property's mode. Return the appropriate exception
              if not able to fulfill the request.

                 unsupported_type_code | unsupported_property | unsupported_mode | fixed_property
                 | read_only_property

              This operation attempts to update the listed properties mode's. Raises an exception
              which describe which and why an operation failed.
