Hi Nicolas thanks for your advice. I know the "problems" with the constraints. The only things I want to use them is for limiting Strings. In the JCR 1.0 SPEC there is no way to specify how long a String property could be. Due the fact that our backend has this feature, I'm searching for a way to achieve this.
