/**
* OSGi services implementing this interface may customize the mapping of arbitrary fields during
* the resource to model mapping of any resource model.
*
* The implementing service specifies {@link #getAnnotationType() the annotation it is responsible for}
* as well as {@link #getFieldType() the type the mapped fields} must be {@link Class#isAssignableFrom(Class) assignable to}.
*
*
* For example, the following service would be responsible for fields annotated with @MyAnnotation
* with a type assignable to {@link java.util.Collection}, e.g. List<Resource> or Set<String>.
*
*
* @Service
* @Component(immediate = true)
* public class MyFieldMapper<Collection, MyAnnotation> {
* public Class<? extends Collection> getFieldType() {
* return Collection.class;
* }
*
* public Class<Annotation> getAnnotationType() {
* return MyAnnotation.class;
* }
*
* public Collection map(OngoingMapping<Collection, MyAnnotation> ongoingMapping) {
* ...
* }
* }
*
*
* Custom mappers are always invoked after all of NEBA's standard mappings have occurred, but before
* the corresponding value was set on the model's field. They may thus make use of the already resolved
* value or choose to provide a different one.
*
*
*
* It is crucial for a {@link AnnotatedFieldMapper} to always return a value that is assignment compatible
* to the {@link OngoingMapping#getFieldType() field type}, i.e. either of the same or of a more specific type.
* It is insufficient to return a type compatible to the {@link #map(AnnotatedFieldMapper.OngoingMapping) mapping methods}
* return type declaration. This return type only represents the type any returned value must be compatible to.
* For instance, if a mapper is responsible for {@link java.util.Collection}, it must take care to return the field's actual
* collection type, e.g. {@link java.util.List} or {@link java.util.Set}. Otherwise, an exception will arise.
*
*
*
* Implementations must never store any contextual data provided by the
* {@link io.neba.api.resourcemodels.AnnotatedFieldMapper.OngoingMapping}
* as this data stems from arbitrary OSGi bundles with independent life cycles.
* Storing any data would result in a class loader / memory leak when these bundles change.
*
*
* @param the super type of the {@link java.lang.reflect.Field#getType() field type}
* of the mapped type.
* @param the exact type of the annotation this mapper is responsible for.
