Interface EnhancedResolver.Hint

Enclosing interface:

EnhancedResolver

public static interface EnhancedResolver.Hint

A hint could be used to skip the resolver chain for a part of the key of a specific tag. The hint can only be used for the same tag for which the context object and name were resolved. However, the resolver is permitted to reuse a hint instance.

Implementations must be thread-safe.
