Autowiring

[OhadR]

I did not find it clear from the docs, so I raise the question here (hope this is the right place):

what is the difference between

	@Autowired
	private MyObj obj;

and

	private MyObj obj;

	@Autowired
	public void setObj(MyObj obj)
	{
		this.obj= obj;
	}

There is no difference essentially, just personal preference.

thanks.
Is there a case where the 1st example will work and the 2nd might fail? or vice-versa?
