Since we're all beating down the most tool-as$ed statement I've read
in a long time, I might have to add. How do you think JRun, you know
the server that's running coldfusion is configured? Before you jump
on that and tell me that you run enterprise as a j2ee application, go
ask your sys admin if the app server is configured with an xml file.

The reason is that XML is primarily an exchange

is very easy to overload and mis-use as a data store such as in Mach.
Yes, it stared as an exchange language, but the ability to build
structured, checked documents lends itself well to other applications
- this isn't a misuse. A "butter" knife does a good job spreading
jam; does that make it a misuse?
I think others agree: Fusebox, Mach-II, Model-Glue, Struts, Spring,
ASP.NET, Coldspring, J2EE, heck, even Cisco routers now use XML for
configuration.
A web application can have 1000s of events, as such, a management
system is a better choice to store events.
An application-level event management system of any use needs to be
able to show these events in a structured format where application
flow can be "seen". XML provides a very nice structure for this.
