 ## Fields
 
 In addition to specifying a field over a Java class field, a field can be defined over a method:

+The `DefaultValue` class can define a `getInstance` method that will be called instead of the default constructor.

 `@GraphQLDeprecate` and Java's `@Deprecated` can be used to specify a deprecated
 field.
 
-You can specify a custom data fetcher for a field with `@GraphQLDataFetcher`
+### Custom data fetcher
+
+You can specify a custom data fetcher for a field with `@GraphQLDataFetcher`. The annotation will reference a class name, 
+which will be used as data fetcher. 
+
+An instance of the data fetcher will be created. The `args` attribute on the annotation can be used to specify a list of 
+String arguments to pass to the construcor, allowing to reuse the same class on different fields, with different parameter. 
+The `firstArgIsTargetName` attribute can also be set on `@GraphQLDataFetcher` to pass the field name as a single parameter of the constructor.
+
+If no argument is needed and a `getInstance` method is present, this method will be called instead of the constructor.
