+To make it easier to set "last modified" and "created by" property
+values from POST requests, values are generated automatically for the
+following property names _if they are supplied with empty values in such a request_:
+
+* `created` and `jcr:created` are set to the node creation time, as a Date value.
+
+* `lastModified`, `jcr:lastModified` are set to the node modification time, as a Date value.
+
+* `createdBy` and `jcr:createdBy` are set to the name of the user who created the node.
+
+* `lastModifiedBy`, `jcr:lastModifiedBy` are set to the name of the user who modified the node.
