The lib-beans is all about creating support to interact with JavaBeans compliant (and perhaps less compliant one) code, that we find in existing subsystems, external/remote services and so forth. For this purpose, the PropertiesMixin will probably still have a place. > About the constraint, is the constraint just able to intercept a method > call, or we can intercept object(composite) creation, or we can even use > constraint to check a program(types) static structure via reflection? Constraints (at the moment) only checks method arguments. We have discussed to also do it for returned values. I suspect that Constraints can be placed on Constructors, although I have not checked that this is true. It should exist, and if it doesn't I would consider it a bug or "missed feature". I don't see what value constraints would have to check for static structure. Please elaborate with a use-case if you want to push this idea further.
