026/**
027 * A rule-finding algorithm which expects the user to specify whether
028 * "automatic property setting" is desired. If this class discovers that
029 * this is in fact the case for a declaration, then a RuleLoader is returned
030 * which, when invoked, adds a single SetPropertiesRule instance to the
031 * digester.
032 * <p>
033 * This allows ordinary JavaBean classes to be used as plugins, and have
034 * xml attributes be mapped to bean properties of the same name, without
035 * any custom plugin rules being created for them.
036 * <p>
037 * This RuleFinder is typically used as the <i>last</i> RuleFinder, so that
038 * automatic property setting only occurs if there is no other source of
039 * custom rules available.
