It is a myth that Java requires massive amounts of XML that make your eyes bleed.
It is perfectly possible to configure a servlet environment once with 15 lines of XML and then never look at it again.
Look at Google Guice for example, which does awesome Java based configuration and composition of components.
- toisanji 16y agothat already massive amounts :)
- ww520 16y agoI actually found Java + Play! to be very productive and fun to develop. Have done 3 projects in that combo already.
- brown9-2 16y agoI agree with this - it is really weird to me to dismiss an entire language and ecosystem because many of it's popular tools are configured through XML. You don't need to follow along with what everyone else is doing.
- nhoj 16y agoI'm writing a java web app without any xml at all. The servlet 3.0 api has some pretty nifty annotations.
