Annotation Interface DataBoundConstructor

@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target(CONSTRUCTOR)
@Documented
public @interface DataBoundConstructor

Designates the constructor to be created from methods like StaplerRequest.bindJSON(Class, JSONObject) and StaplerRequest.bindParameters(Class, String).

Stapler will invoke the designated constructor by using arguments from the corresponding JSONObject (in case of StaplerRequest.bindJSON(Class, JSONObject)) or request parameters (in case of StaplerRequest.bindParameters(Class, String)).

The matching is done by using the constructor parameter name. Since this information is not available at the runtime, annotation processing runs during the compilation to capture them in separate "*.stapler" files.

This replaces "@stapler-constructor" annotation.
