Re: T5: @Propery can not be an Interface? No default coercion?

[Ville Virtanen <vi...@cerion.fi>]

You can have interface parameters, but the problem here is that you define a
parameter of type PageDelegate, and try to assign a default value of string
"false" to that parameter. Perhaps you meant @Property(required="false") ?
