spring注解注入为什么还要setter方法

本人以为spring提供的注解注入方式有别于setter方法就是可以免去书写setter方法，但是本人今天在用注解注入的时候，一直不成功。

提示：

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'constractorTest' defined in class path resource [beans.xml]: Error setting property values; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.NotWritablePropertyException: Invalid property 'person' of bean class [com.luch.spring.demo.ConstractorTest]: Bean property 'person' is not writable or has an invalid setter method. Does the parameter type of the setter match the return type of the getter?

	at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.populateBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:1118)
	at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.doCreateBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:517)
	at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.createBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:456)
	at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory$1.getObject(AbstractBeanFactory.java:294)
	at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultSingletonBeanRegistry.getSingleton(DefaultSingletonBeanRegistry.java:225)
	at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory.doGetBean(AbstractBeanFactory.java:291)
	at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory.getBean(AbstractBeanFactory.java:193)

于是我增加了 一个setter方法，然后就可以了。

后面我试着把setter方法里的代码去掉，即我就剩下一个setter的空方法，代码如下：

public void setPerson(Person person) {
		//this.person = person;
	}

这样子也能注入成功。
