Java: Constructor vs Field Injection
Answer
'Final' fields prevent reassignment after construction, ensuring immutability.
Marking dependencies as 'final' when using constructor injection communicates that these fields are required and cannot be changed once the object is created. This provides clarity and helps prevent accidental changes later in the code. For example, a final field in a service class ensures that the injected dependency is immutable and consistently available throughout the object’s lifecycle.
