# Customizing an Application View Control

You can customize an Application View control in several ways. You may modify the properties of the control itself or the properties of the control's methods. Each of these modifications is described in more detail in the sections that follow.

You can also use the ControlContext interface for access to a control's properties at run time and for handling control events. Property values set by a developer who is using the control are stored as annotations on the control's declaration in a JWS, JSP, or JPD file, or as annotations on its interface, callback, or method declarations in a JCX file.

### Control Properties

The Application View control exposes the av-identity property with the name and app attributes. For a description of the av-identity property and its attributes, see @jc:av-identity Annotation.

### Method Properties

Each method of an Application View control exposes the av-service property that binds the Application View control method to an application view service. For a description of the av-service property and its attributes, see @jc:av-service Annotation.
