    Composition is better than inheritance. So I refactored this into a ListConfigDispatcherServletInitializer which can accept a list of ConfigStrategies for dispatching. Added AbstractDaddyLongLegsConfigStrategy, to help with implementing con

    Depending on the country / culture / job description, "making stuff up" is sometimes a viable option for "adjust accordingly", on all levels of expertise.
