/**
* Meta annotation for selecting instance resolver.
*
* <p>
* When service class is annotated with an annotation that has
* {@link InstanceResolverAnnotation} as meta annotation, the JAX-WS RI
* runtime will use the instance resolver class specified on {@link #value()}.
*
* <p>
* The {@link InstanceResolver} class must have the public constructor that
* takes {@link Class}, which represents the type of the service.
*
* <p>
* See {@link com.sun.xml.internal.ws.developer.Stateful} for a real example. This annotation is only for
* advanced users of the JAX-WS RI.
*
* @since JAX-WS 2.1
