Even though these sorts of constraints are not natively supported by the
class based languages such as C++ and Java, they can be readily applied
through the use of accessor methods for get() and set(). They can also be
applied during unmarshalling. Even languages such as C, which can't control
access to private variables in the same way that C++ and Java can, can apply
the constraints at marshalling time (possibly a case of better late than
never!).
Hence for most languages such constraints should not be a problem.
Pete.
