/**
 * Used in conjunction with the {@link SqlResultSetMapping} annotation to map the SELECT
 * clause of a SQL query to a constructor.
 *
 * Applies a constructor for the target class, passing in as arguments
 * values from the specified columns.  All columns corresponding
 * to arguments of the intended constructor must be specified using the
 * columns element of the ConstructorResult
 * annotation in the same order as that of the argument list of the
 * constructor.  Any entities returned as constructor results will be
 * in either the new or detached state, depending on whether a primary
 * key is retrieved for the constructed object.
 * 
 * 
 *
 * Example:
 *
 *   Query q = em.createNativeQuery(
 *      "SELECT c.id, c.name, COUNT(o) as orderCount, AVG(o.price) AS avgOrder " +
 *      "FROM Customer c, Orders o " +
 *      "WHERE o.cid = c.id " +
 *      "GROUP BY c.id, c.name",
 *      "CustomerDetailsResult");
 *
 *   @SqlResultSetMapping(
 *       name="CustomerDetailsResult",
 *       classes={
 *          @ConstructorResult(
 *               targetClass=com.acme.CustomerDetails.class,
 *                 columns={
 *                    @ColumnResult(name="id"),
 *                    @ColumnResult(name="name"),
 *                    @ColumnResult(name="orderCount"),
 *                    @ColumnResult(name="avgOrder", type=Double.class)
 *                    }
 *          )
 *       }
