The properties file will contain validation meta-data as follows:

  firstName=required; length min=10, max=100
  age=required; range min=10, max=100
 

The firstName corresponds to a property of the Foo class. The firstName is associated with the validation rules required and length. The length validation rule states the minimum and maximum allowed number of characters with the min and max parameters.
