ResolverStrategy (Castor JavaDoc)

All Known Implementing Classes:

CastorXMLStrategy
```
public interface ResolverStrategy
```
A resolver strategy implements how ClassDescriptor's are found for a given class. It uses multiple ResolveCommand's for first time resolution, but also some caching of already evaluated classes.
