/**
 * Helper class that allows for specifying a method to invoke in a declarative

 *
 * <p>Usage: Specify "targetClass"/"targetMethod" or "targetObject"/"targetMethod",
 * optionally specify arguments, prepare the invoker. Afterwards, you may
 * invoke the method any number of times, obtaining the invocation result.
 *
 * <p>Typically not used directly but via its subclasses
 * {@link org.springframework.beans.factory.config.MethodInvokingFactoryBean} and
 * {@link org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.MethodInvokingJobDetailFactoryBean}.
