## Annotation Type PlanningSolution

-     @Target(value=TYPE)
       @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
      public @interface PlanningSolution

  Specifies that the class is a planning solution. A solution represents a problem and a possible solution of that problem. A possible solution does not need to be optimal or even feasible. A solution's planning variables might not be initialized (especially when delivered as a problem).

  A solution is mutable. For scalability reasons (to facilitate incremental score calculation), the same solution instance (called the working solution per move thread) is continuously modified. It's cloned to recall the best solution.

  Each planning solution must have exactly 1 `PlanningScore` property.

  Each planning solution must have at least 1 `PlanningEntityCollectionProperty` or `PlanningEntityProperty` property.

  Each planning solution is recommended to have 1 `ConstraintConfigurationProvider` property too.

  Each planning solution used with Drools score calculation must have at least 1 `ProblemFactCollectionProperty` or `ProblemFactProperty` property.

  The class should have a public no-arg constructor, so it can be cloned (unless the `solutionCloner()` is specified).

- - ### Optional Element Summary

    Optional Elements
    Modifier and Type | Optional Element and Description
    --- | ---
    `AutoDiscoverMemberType` | `autoDiscoverMemberType` Enable reflection through the members of the class to automatically assume `PlanningScore`, `PlanningEntityCollectionProperty`, `PlanningEntityProperty`, `ProblemFactCollectionProperty`, `ProblemFactProperty` and `ConstraintConfigurationProvider` annotations based on the member type.
    `LookUpStrategyType` | `lookUpStrategyType`
    `Class<? extends SolutionCloner>` | `solutionCloner` Overrides the default `SolutionCloner` to implement a custom `PlanningSolution` cloning implementation.

- - ### Element Detail

    - #### autoDiscoverMemberType

          public abstract AutoDiscoverMemberType autoDiscoverMemberType

      Enable reflection through the members of the class to automatically assume `PlanningScore`, `PlanningEntityCollectionProperty`, `PlanningEntityProperty`, `ProblemFactCollectionProperty`, `ProblemFactProperty` and `ConstraintConfigurationProvider` annotations based on the member type.
      Returns:
        never null
      Default:
        org.optaplanner.core.api.domain.autodiscover.AutoDiscoverMemberType.NONE

  - - #### solutionCloner

          public abstract Class<? extends SolutionCloner> solutionCloner

      Overrides the default `SolutionCloner` to implement a custom `PlanningSolution` cloning implementation.

      If this is not specified, then the default reflection-based `SolutionCloner` is used, so you don't have to worry about it.

      Returns:
        `PlanningSolution.NullSolutionCloner` when it is null (workaround for annotation limitation)
      Default:
        org.optaplanner.core.api.domain.solution.PlanningSolution.NullSolutionCloner.class

  - - #### lookUpStrategyType

          public abstract LookUpStrategyType lookUpStrategyType

      Returns:
        never null
      Default:
        org.optaplanner.core.api.domain.lookup.LookUpStrategyType.PLANNING_ID_OR_NONE
