 * [section: Model Configuration]

 *
 * @association The association (or list of associations) you want to allow to be set through the params. This argument is also aliased as associations.
 * @autoSave boolean false true Whether to save the association(s) when the parent object is saved.
 * @allowDelete false Set allowDelete to true to tell CFWheels to look for the property _delete in your model. If present and set to a value that evaluates to true, the model will be deleted when saving the parent.
 * @sortProperty Set sortProperty to a property on the object that you would like to sort by. The property should be numeric, should start with 1, and should be consecutive. Only valid with hasMany associations.
 * @rejectIfBlank A list of properties that should not be blank. If any of the properties are blank, any CRUD operations will be rejected.
