I see this concept in thunkmap (thinkmap.com) there is beautiful xml configuration (it's real pleasure to work with)
and special packager to compile xml into bytecode for production. but, the bad news is its not open or free for now, i dont have enough knowledge and time to implement something like but it is still possible :) Knut Wannheden wrote: > > xVik, > > We did experiment with serializing the parsed XML module definitions > as POJOs (i.e. standard Java object serialization).
