Spring - Using @Inject annotation on setter methods

package com.logicbig.example;


public class GreetingService {
    public String getGreeting(String name) {
        return "Hi there, " + name;
    }
}

package com.logicbig.example;

import javax.inject.Inject;

public class Greeter {
    private GreetingService greetingService;

    @Inject
    public void setGreetingService(GreetingService greetingService) {
        this.greetingService = greetingService;
    }

    public void showGreeting(String name) {
        System.out.println(greetingService.getGreeting(name));
    }
}

@Configuration
public class AppRunner {

    @Bean
    public GreetingService greetingService() {
        return new GreetingService();
    }

    @Bean
    public Greeter greeter() {
        return new Greeter();
    }

    public static void main(String... strings) {
        AnnotationConfigApplicationContext context = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(AppRunner.class);
        Greeter greeter = context.getBean(Greeter.class);
        greeter.showGreeting("Joe");
    }
}
