    I prefer constructor injection over setter injection.  I think it's best 
that once an object is constructed, it should be usable, and that's not 
possible with setter injection.  With setters needing to be used to configure 
the object, there's no way to indicate required versus optional properties, 
outside of documentation.  By using constructors, you can programmatically 
declare the required properties.  This has an added benefit (in my opinion) of 
working towards making these types of objects (resources, services) immutable, 
and I think, generally speaking, immutability moves towards easier testing.
