jetspeed looks like.
Ok, our spring configurator includes all files located at a specific
location and adds all bean definitions found there.
The jetspeed guys enhanced the spring bean configuration format to have
conditionals inside a bean xml definition, so something like (don't
quote me on the syntax):
<j:if test="database.derby">
<bean name="database" ...the derby bean
<j:if>
<j:else>
<bean name="database" ...the hsqldb bean
</j:else>
Wow. It looks like Maven 1 jelly code. Next you will see for loops and
ant tasks!
I'm not crazy about XML as a programming language. The information
needed to make decisions should be in the XML, not the logic.
