Spring is about using POJOs, avoiding complex hierarchies and interface implementations as it's done with EJB. It's a difference
between using Spring as a tool to help development or developing for Spring, which avoids reuse.



Carlos, let's say people were going to break their application out into different IoC XMLs, and their application had different Filters they'd like to load using this utility class. Let's also say we went with the more consolidated syntax, ie someFilter=/*. People could easily achieve separate XMLs containing their Filters by defining multiple FilterToBeanProxy references in web.xml to separate "aggregator" Filters. Alternatively, they could have one master "aggregator" Filter which refers to child aggregator Filters in other IoC XML configurations. After all, the aggregator is just another implementation of Filter. As such I'm not sure how the consolidated syntax (which IMHO is simpler and more attractive) represents a disadvantage. I'm open to comments though.

Cheers
Ben
