Beanshell already has a Bshdoc.bsh script that generates javadoc like doc. -ChristianEssl: I like Harish's idea of using Beanshell. It is indeed less verbose than xml. Maybe somehow it could be possible to replace the dependencies map and constructor-array with a closure, which directly constructs the implementation. To me this would be the main advantage of using an alternative config format. Apart of this can someone point out what the disadvantages of xml are except of the verbosity and that ejb (and most other frameworks) use it too. +ChristianEssl: I like Harish's idea of using Beanshell.

Especially for contributions I think xml is much better than scripting, because you basicly define your own specialized easy-to-use language. Is there some thought of mixing scripting with xml? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
