Interface AssignmentResolver

public interface AssignmentResolver

An interface that allows defining a new class that manages the assignments between Display/Schedules and Schedules/Channels. The assignment resolver is tied to a specific assignment resource type and contains all the logic to travers the repository up or down the relationship tree, and thus allows easy extension. Resolvers will be automatically loaded by the AssignmentService that is the entry point for all assignment resolving methods.
