The Defaults element allows for the definition of Properties that are made available for reference by other Properties using the "%{property_name}" syntax.  Properties are NOT automatically copied into the other Properties defined in the configuration file.

Example of the use of a Property:

   <Defaults>
      <Properties>
         <Property name="cookie.name" value="OPENPTKSESSIONID"/>
      </Properties>
   </Defaults>

Defines the property cookie.name, which when referenced in the following Property to Clients


sets the openptk.cookie.name to OPENPTKSESSIONID.  Essentially, turns this 2nd example into:
