Sheet, are you really seriuous? I totally disagree with your comments. Spring is always miles ahead of java ee. Java ee copies spring inventions. For me it has been a long road to migrate away from "java ee hell". The less java ee the better and more productive to code. Nobody uses xml nowadays, its called java configuration. And who cares about the final jar/war size ?

>Spring is always miles ahead of java ee.

So home come Java EE started with no-XML and annotations way before Spring?

>Java ee copies spring inventions.

So why did Spring years later also went the no-XML route and started with annotations?

>Nobody uses xml nowadays,

Because Java EE adopted the move away from XML early. When all major frameworks where moving away from XML, Rod was still trying to let you write MORE XML.

>And who cares about the final jar/war size ?

The Spring guys cared about the size of the combined total when Java EE was still bigger. I can't count the times that Rod ridiculed Java EE about this.

Now Java EE is slimmer and now it suddenly doesn't matter? Funny...
