TypeConstraint (Alfresco Repository 7.310 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.alfresco.util.TypeConstraint

```
public class TypeConstraint
extends Object
```
Stores a set of expected and excluded types, by full type name. The localName can be a wildcard (*) to indicate that the whole namespace should be expected/excluded. A node is tested to ensure that its type is in the expected list and not in the excluded list. Its aspects are also tested to ensure that they are in the expected list and not in the excluded list. Adapted some code from QNameFilter.
