without even looking at the code, this is probably because of finnicky
auto-wiring code in the framework (we need to make sure it doesn't
autowire beans unless told to, which I don't think is the case right
now).
the constructor-arg vs. property debate is an old one - and it's
mostly stylistic. Yes, you can't have circular dependencies if you use
constructor-args. Yes, using setter-methods leaves a situation where
you could have an object created which doesn't have its dependencies
satisfied. That's why we support both! My only real advice is that you
should stick to one approach (within a given project/codebase).
yes I'm alive (sorta)
