/**
 * Encapsulates the data necessary to make a static or instance method call
 * through the services provided by <code>java.lang.reflect</code>.
 * <p>
 * Accessors are provided to store and retrieve data but otherwise this
 * data is not modified an any way.
 * <p>
 * The current design provides the ability to define a static method call
 * or a call to a specific instance which must be specified in advance. There
 * is no support for the dynamic instantiation of this class.  In other
 * words, if an instance method call is needed, the caller must construct
 * the <code>Callback</code> object with the target instance object or 
 * the {@link #setTargetInstance} method must be called after construction or
 * before the instance reference is needed.  Since the <code>Callback</code> 
 * object itself does not handle the invocation, but rather only stores the
 * data needed to do such an invocation, one may also obtain the instance
 * reference via some other means.
 * <p>
 * There is no direct storage of parameter or return type information.  This
 * is the responsibility of the caller in the case where the class and
 * method names are used instead of a <code>java.lang.reflect.Method</code>
 * object.  Since the <code>Method</code> object does store this information,  
 * if this value is not <code>null</code>, the parameter and return type
 * information can be indirectly accessed.
