Constructor selected for implementation instance creation

[C Vamsi <vamsic007@in.ibm.com>]

Java C&I Spec (sca-javaci-1.1-spec-wd03.doc)

Section 5: Implementation Instance Creation
Lines 254-257:
   The constructor to use is selected by the container as follows:

      1. A declared constructor annotated with a @Constructor annotation.

      2. A declared constructor that unambiguously identifies all property
         and reference values.

      3. A no-argument constructor.



What does the second point above mean?

Is it that

All parameters that could be properties, no two are of the same type and
   for each parameter type there is one and only one SCA property of that
   type with @required=true

and

All parameters that could be references, no two are of the same interface
   and for each parameter type there is one and only one SCA reference of
   that interface with @required=true ?
