I've used Java for 10 years. I've never used Spring. I've never created an AbstractFactorySingleton. I've never used XML. There's nothing in Java that says you have to use anything in particular, apart from the runtime (Extremely solid), and the basic language syntax (IMHO nice enough).
OK, maybe they're not an idiot. Maybe it's warranted. I'd say it's probably over engineered stupidity though.
Even so, the title is like pointing to a stupidly constructed house and calling it "Everything that is wrong with bricks".
- chris_wot 14y agoIf you don't know what it's used for, or the purpose it was written for, then you aren't in a position to judge if it's stupid or not. I can assure you, it has a purpose, and that purpose is not stupid. The fact that the reason for the class is somewhat obscure and somewhat of a corner case does not make it unnecessary.
