Response to: opinion piece veiled as objective article
i found the article to be excellent and unbiased.. the spring XML files are verbose crap.. i don't like xml as you've probably guessed.. in fact the article was so informative that i will now use jboss and EJB for the first time.. i have always found it to be a pack of complex bother and spring did not get me to jump in.. thank you michael.. incidently, i have a phd from USC and a MS from MIT and 25 years programming experience so don't make the mistake of thinking i'm a lightweight.. i'm hoping that design by committe has for once cleaned up the pathetic mess that is EJB and a lot of J2EE..

  Thank you for your incredible credentials. I would side with you on EJB 3 being good, but this side of the street believes that you should address this concern of mine ( especially about xml "crap" you mentioned, keep your mind unbiased and objective ) :
  I have gotta situation.
  I am going for release of my app tomorrow, i followed everything to the toe and then suddenly i've gotta do some changes in code ... for this i have to do a build ( build and then deploy the EAR / WAR or whatever ). Now suppose that i am writing configurations for all POJOs to-be-persisted in xml, all i have to do is change xml file configurations. On the other hand if i am doing annotations i have to go in code and do something ( blah blah ). My code was "frozen" state until now. Technically making jsp, HTML or xml changes do not come in code changes ( as per my company policy at least ) so yea i am safe when i working with xml. we do a build and all is solved ... But what would happen if i am using annotations ...
