Annotation Interface Resolution

@Experimental @Documented @Retention(RUNTIME) @Target(FIELD) public @interface Resolution
Indicates that a given field will be injected with the result of a dependency collection or resolution request. Whether a collection or resolution request is performed is controlled by the pathScope() field, the injected field type and the requestType().

If the requestType is not set explicitly, it will be inferred from the pathScope and the injected field type. If the type is Node and pathScope == "", then the dependencies will be collected. If the type is Node or List<Node>, and pathScope != "", the dependencies will be flattened. Else the dependencies will be resolved and pathScope must be non empty, and the field type can be Node, List<Node>, DependencyResolverResult, List<Path>, Map<PathType, List<Path>>, or Map<Dependency, Path>.
