16   * <code>EntryPointResolver</code> resolves a method to call on the given
17   * Component when an event is received for the service.
18   *
19   * Note that one instance of an entry point will be created for a component. This means the type of the component will always be
20   * of the same type for the life of the instance. Resolvers must be thread safe since multiple requests on the same component can
21   * happen concurrently.  The recommended approach is to use atomic values and concurrent collections where needed rather than
22   * synchronizing the invoke method, which could impact performance
