39   * This class shows how to provide project-specific validation on properties. It has a single method, that returns an <i>int</i>
40   * that is always even. This means that the caller can always be sure that the <i>int</i> returned is an even number.
41   * 
42   * <p>
43   * It is possible to extend this behavior, to return real project specific objects. This is a matter of personal taste. Next to
44   * that, if a real project object is returned, it often requires a database to exist and functioning. Obviously this doesn't work
45   * when the configuration details are not known yet.
