with same name. If an attribute is read-only, the property

<dd>Every method <code>RetType getX()</code> defines a
property where "X" stands for the property name and
"RetType" for its type. The method must not have any
parameters, or there is no property access method
and "X" has no property. If there is also a method
<code>void setX( [in] RetType )</code>, the property
"X" also allows write access; otherwise it is read-only.

<dd>If an object implements <type scope="com::sun::star::container">XNameAccess</type>,
the items that can be accessed are not considered as properties
of the object and so are not included in the property list offered by
<member scope="com::sun::star::beans">XIntrospectionAccess::getProperties()</member>.
<type scope="com::sun::star::container">XNameAccess</type> items have to be
accessed separately by <member scope="com::sun::star::beans">XIntrospectionAccess::getNameAccess()</member>.

<p>In addition, the inspect method identifies all listener
access methods in the form <code>add...Listener</code>/
<code>remove...Listener</code> (except methods of interface
<type>XPropertySet</type>) where "..." stands for the listener type.
</p>
<p>Methods which do not belong to a property nor which represent
a listener access nor which are methods of <type>XPropertySet</type>,
<type scope="com::sun::star::container">XNameAccess</type>,
<type scope="com::sun::star::container">XIndexAccess</type>, or
<type scope="com::sun::star::container">XEnumerationAccess</type>, are considered to be normal
