This means that the binder will expect to find a constructor with the parameters that you wish to have bound.		This means that the binder will expect to find a constructor with the parameters that you wish to have bound.
If you are using Java 16 or later, constructor binding can be used with records.		If you are using Java 16 or later, constructor binding can be used with records.

The conversion service will be applied to coerce the `String` value to the targe t type of a missing property.		The conversion service will be applied to coerce the `String` value to the targe t type of a missing property.
Referring to the previous example, if no properties are bound to `Security`, the `MyProperties` instance will contain a `null` value for `security`.		Referring to the previous example, if no properties are bound to `Security`, the `MyProperties` instance will contain a `null` value for `security`.
If you wish you return a non-null instance of `Security` even when no properties are bound to it, you can use an empty `@DefaultValue` annotation to do so:		To make it contain a non-null instance of `Security` even when no properties are bound to it (when using Kotlin, this will require the `username` and `password` parameters of `Security` to be declared as nullable as they do not have default values), use an empty `@DefaultValue` annotation:
include::code:nonnull/MyProperties[tag=*]		include::code:nonnull/MyProperties[tag=*]
