Annotation Type Factory

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)

@Documented
public @interface Factory

Indicates that the object should be created by using the given factory component, instead of calling the constructor.

If specified, the factory component is activated, and Provider.get() is used to obtain the instance, instead of the default action, which is to call the constructor.

The resource injection and extraction happens like it normally does, after the factory returns the object.
