public class ConstrainedProperty
extends java.lang.Object
    Provides the ability to set contraints against a properties of a class. Constraints can either be set via the property setters or via the
applyConstraint(String constraintName, Object constrainingValue)in combination with a constraint constant. Example:
      ...
         ConstrainedProperty cp = new ConstrainedProperty(owningClass, propertyName, propertyType);
      if (cp.supportsConstraint(ConstrainedProperty.EMAIL_CONSTRAINT)) {
          cp.applyConstraint(ConstrainedProperty.EMAIL_CONSTRAINT, new Boolean(true));
      }
 
 Alternatively constraints can be applied directly using the java bean getters/setters if a static (as oposed to dynamic)
 approach to constraint creation is possible:
 
       cp.setEmail(true)
