    /**
     * Decide which target extension to be injected. The name of the target extension is decided by the parameter passed
     * in the URL, and the parameter names are given by this method.
     * 
     * If the specified parameters are not found from {@link URL}, then the default extension will be used for
     * dependency injection (specified in its interface's {@link SPI}).
     * 

     * For example, given String[] {"key1", "key2"}:
     * 

     * find parameter 'key1' in URL, use its value as the extension's name
     * try 'key2' for extension's name if 'key1' is not found (or its value is empty) in URL
     * use default extension if 'key2' doesn't exist either
     * otherwise, throw {@link IllegalStateException}
     * 
     * If the parameter names are empty, then a default parameter name is generated from interface's
     * class name with the rule: divide classname from capital char into several parts, and separate the parts with
     * dot '.', for example, for {@code org.apache.dubbo.xxx.YyyInvokerWrapper}, the generated name is
     * String[] {"yyy.invoker.wrapper"}.
