Mastering Spring Framework Fundamentals - Coding Beans to Use Setter Dependency Injection

The video tutorial explains the concept of dependency injection in Java, focusing on two main types: constructor-based and setter-based. Constructor-based injection is preferred as it ensures that a bean cannot exist without its dependencies, reducing the risk of exceptions. The tutorial then demonstrates how to implement setter-based dependency injection by removing the constructor and adding a setter method, using IntelliJ for auto-generating the setter. Finally, it mentions the need to adapt the XML configuration file for setter injection, which will be covered in the next video.

What is the role of the setter method in the context of dependency injection?

How does the text suggest adapting the XML configuration file?
