[Springframework-developer] ApplicationContext without the use of XML

[Remco B. <rem...@ji...>]

Is anyone using the springframework ApplicationContext without the use of
XML (applicationContext.xml)? I know it's possible to write your own
AbstractApplicationContext implementation, but has anyone tried it?

 

I don't like XML configuration files. I really don't. First I had to learn
the beautiful java language, and now I feel like a scriptkiddy again, coding
bean mappings and workflow stuff (mvc) and other things in XML files. (I do
see the beauty of dependency injection, but XML.)
