Re: [Springframework-developer] I don't like the DefaultXmlBeanDefinitionParser

[Steven D. <ste...@gm...>]

During my many quest (sorry for the WoW terminology) of understanding
Spring I endeavoured into the DefaultXmlBeanDefinitionParser code more
than once. It's very hard to understand exactly what happens in there.

Some refactoring could make it easier for clever people to tweak the
Spring config format to their own needs. While the need for these
tweaks may not be obvious to anyone of us there's nothing wrong with
that. Supporting this can only improve the product. I don't think
there's any need to anxiety since changes to the Spring core are
thoroughly vetted.
