22: * Used in conjunction with the {@link SparqlResultSetMapping} annotation to map the SELECT clause of a SPARQL query to
23: * a constructor.
24: * <p>
25: * Applies a constructor for the target class, passing in as arguments values from the specified variables. All
26: * variables corresponding to arguments of the intended constructor must be specified using the {@code variables}
27: * element of the {@code ConstructorResult} annotation in the same order as that of the argument list of the
28: * constructor. Any entities returned as constructor results will be in either the new or detached state, depending on
29: * whether a primary key is retrieved for the constructed object.
