I sense sarcasm, but 100 lines of xml in a 200,000 line web application is wonderful. And this xml is specifiying critical things like database connection and pool settings, transaction management, entity caching, and more. You are going to be configuring this stuff no matter what platform you use, and the simpler it is the better.
