Interface ConstructorResolver

All Known Implementing Classes:
ReflectiveConstructorResolver
Functional Interface:
This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.

@FunctionalInterface public interface ConstructorResolver
A constructor resolver attempts to locate a constructor and returns a ConstructorExecutor that can be used to invoke that constructor. The ConstructorExecutor will be cached but if it 'goes stale' the resolvers will be called again.
