PersisterClassResolver (Hibernate JavaDocs)

All Superinterfaces:

java.io.Serializable, Service
```
public interface PersisterClassResolver
extends Service
```
Given an entity or collection mapping, resolve the appropriate persister class to use.
The persister class is chosen according to the following rules:
1. the persister class defined explicitly via annotation or XML
2. the persister class returned by the installed PersisterClassResolver
3. the default provider as chosen by Hibernate Core (best choice most of the time)
