This article reminds me of an application we were developing for a health care billing system. Back in the days when Spring 1.0 was evolving and was the 'hip' technology, architects had used spring, and had written wrappers around spring. No one could make the head and tail of these 'wrappers' except for these few 'talented' individuals. I mean, as if Spring wasn't slow enough, the wrappers made the application even slower. Finally, management went berserk over the application performance. It's ridiculous how the developers wanted to create an aura of exclusivity by using some technology that was probably not required at all. Oh and Amen to 'Brevity is the soul of wit'.
