Consider the following service class:

@Service
public class FooService {

    private final FooRepository repository;

    @Autowired
    public FooService(FooRepository repository) {
        this.repository = repository
    }
}

Quite a common use case but if you forget the @Autowired annotation on the constructor, the container will throw an exception looking for a default constructor, unless you explicitly indicate autowire mode 'constructor' in your bean definition setup (e.g. in an XML <bean>…
