JavascriptExecutor works in one way but not in another

public class A{
     WebDriver    driver;
     JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;

     @Test
     js.executeScript("alert('hello world');");
      }

doesn't work; whereas 

 public class A{
    WebDriver    driver;
    @Test
    JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;    
    js.executeScript("alert('hello world');");
    }

works fine.I can't understand why?

Assuming that is the code you have then the first example wouldn't work because you would be assigning null to the JavascriptExecutor, because you have not instantiated the driver at the point you instantiated the executor. In the second example I assume you did in some setup method.

This might just be because your code to illustrate your example is wrong though...
