specifi_method_resolver

Call the most specific method available in the specified object.

Say you have a class like this one.

public class AuthenticationHandler {

  @Handler
  public void authenticate(Object authentication) {
      System.out.println("Abstract Auth");
  }

  @Handler
  public void print(BasicAuthentication auth) {
      System.out.println("Called basic");
  }

  @Handler
  public void print(SpecificAuthentication auth) {
      System.out.println("Called specific");
  }

}

// ...
   AuthenticationHandler h = new AuthenticationHandler();
   
   Object k = new SpecificAuthentication();
   
   h.print(k); //Prints Abstract Auth
// ...

Java would call the method that matchs the type of the reference rather than the actuall object.

This project was a personal challenge to implement an algorithm that always resolves the method with the closes signeture to the actual object.
