Remind me to shoot the person who first came up with the idea of 
using XML for human-edited configuration files...

    Speaking of using ORMs with Guice, do you suppose it is technically 
possible to use constructor-injection with ORMs instead of the JavaBeans 
model that has become the norm? In my experience the latter leads to 
very bad API designs.
