public UserNameResolver()
```
- Method Detail
  - findNameFor
```
public abstract String findNameFor(User u)
```
    Finds full name of the given user.
    This method is called when a User without explicitly name is used.
    When multiple resolvers are installed, they are consulted in order and the search will be over when a name is found by someone.
    Since UserNameResolver is singleton, this method can be invoked concurrently from multiple threads.
    
    Returns:
    
    null if the inference failed.
  - resolve
```
public static String resolve(User u)
```
  - all
```
public static ExtensionList<UserNameResolver> all()
```
    Returns all the registered UserNameResolver descriptors.
