Java: Constructor vs Field Injection
Answer
Private field injection reduces visibility and complicates testing.
Using @Autowired on private fields hides dependencies, making it harder to see what a class requires. This can lead to maintenance challenges and complicate testing, as private fields are less accessible for mocking. Constructor injection, on the other hand, makes dependencies explicit and easily testable.
