Java constructor with large arguments or Java bean getter/setter approach

Question

I can\'t decide which approach is better for creating objects with a large number of fields (10+) (all mandatory) the constructor approach of the getter/setter. Constructor

Answer 1

My first thought is to check whether your encapsulation model is correct. Having 10+ mandatory fields sounds like quite a lot and perhaps it makes more sense to have more finely-grained components in this scenario ?

Are some of these fields/parameters related ? Can they be combined into objects that make sense (e.g. x-coordinate and y-coordinate combined into a Point object etc.)
