boolean	denotesNode() Returns false as this class represents a property identifier, not a node identifier.
boolean	equals(java.lang.Object obj)
Name	getName() Returns the qualified name of the property.
NodeId	getParentId() Returns the identifier of the parent node.
int	hashCode() Returns the hash code of this property identifier.
java.lang.String	toString() Returns the same as this.getParentId() + "/" + this.getName()
static PropertyId	valueOf(java.lang.String s) Returns a property identifier instance holding the value of the specified string.
