We're not talking about programming, but configuration. OOP defines a program as a graph of objects. The XML configuration is a convenient way to define the graph of objects we are using to solve the problem. Meanwhile, IoC containers, like Spring, have become the conventional way to create the objects we need at runtime. Some factories can be configured from an XML document, others can be configured by direct calls to the Spring API.
