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

Really depends on the specific class. Should it be immutable? Is it a simple value object without any behavior? Are you going to map this value object to web service parameters, or to a relational database? Are you going to serialize it? (Some of that stuff need a default constructor). Can you tell a little bit more about the object?
